So I am putting a Batt relay on my plane and it is one that grounds out to

Other's have weighed in with concerns that you may wrongly be
using a starter solenoid. They normally are grounded... and you
supply it with battery voltage.

OTOH...
What you describe that requires grounding to function, sounds
exactly like a bona fide batt relay and they do get quite warm....
but not so hot as to give your finger a blister.
