I'm in the market for a winch and had a few questions to ask before I make up my mind.
first off is powering this thing. The one I'm leaning toward is a 9500 lbs dead pull that draws at worse case scenario 380 amps per minute and best case 190. I have a 650 (Ithink) cc amp batt. and the stock 100(?) amp alt. Can this work? I know that you winch in bursts and vehicle running yada yada yada. I am going to upgrade the batt to something like I keep in my boat that's close to 1100 cc and deep cell so it lasts with deep drains but could the 650cc battery hold up for now till I get up the big bucks for the new batt?
I thought about going duel battery and that would actually be cheaper than the batts. that I keep in my boats but where would you put it in a 2000 DII?
Also would you have to upgrade the alternator?
Also would a 9500 be big enough? What do you guys run?
Thanks, Joe
