The current through the contacts it's the same according to the draw no matter how strong is the battery, on the contrary, a stronger battery can make the plunger to close the contacts better which would avoid arching... IMO it's a simple case of quality, factory fitted genuine parts are always the best also i doubt that the repair kits are made at so high quality like the genuine factory fitted ones, they are weaker from the beginning and built by various manufacturers not by Denso... otherwise they would not make much profit on them, exactly like the difference between any genuine LR factory fitted part and other OEM/aftermarkets ... not even the new genuine LR parts built these days are the same like the factory fitted ones.

Guess it's not a controlled experiment, but anecdotally it's a huge difference in MTBF (service life). Because it sort of looks the same doesn't mean it is the same! Let's see how long this refurbishment lasts - at least this time I knew that getting the top nut off was not going to be difficult - practice makes perfect!
