Electric seat - Need Relay?

Hello. I picked up a set of 4th gen seats recently to replace my thoroughly worn out originals. The driver's side is electric. I've searched through a number of posts and it seems that the seat switch doesn't require a relay? It can handle the full draw?

Unless I'm advised otherwise, my intention is to run a heavy-gauge fused wire to the battery and connect it straight up.

Any personal experience is well appreciated. Thanks,
Jon

I bought a fuse tap, ran 10 gauage under the carpet, spliced in a male and female connector, all is good.
