Where to mount an auxillary battery.
Where to mount an auxillary battery.
The guy that gave me the winch (the EX Mr. Kate) said it drew allot of amps
when he used it. So I got to thinking that an auxillary battery would be a
good idea.
The question is, where to mount it.
My preference would be under the hood but as you well know there isn't much
room under there.
Ideas? I'd prefer not to put it in the back of the interior if at all
possible.

The shortest distance between two points,
is a lot more fun in a Jeep!

Another idea would be to rig a hand throttle so when you use the winch
you keep the engine running fast enough to keep the battery charged.

The alternator cannot begin to keep up with the demand of a serious
electric winch. Dual batteries is far more viable plus it works even
with engine is dead.

That might be a good idea.
I read not too long ago how a guy made one out of pretty inexpensive parts
form the gear shift handle taken off of a bicycle.
I imagine if done right it would look pretty good.

Re: Where to mount an auxillary battery.
A winch can use 450 amps, the alternator can deliver only around 117.

More than adequate, your only trying to keep from killing the battery.

Re: Where to mount an auxillary battery.
I second that motion!
Just remember not to put the winch on the side terminals of a battery. Folks have
melted a lot of Optima's doing that.

Boy oh boy, it's a good thing you told me that.
I had planned on connecting it to the side terminals.

Re: Where to mount an auxillary battery.
For a trick setup, you might want to cut off the normal battery connections
on the battery wires and put on some big honkin round hole connectors, then
get some marine-style battery terminals, that the cables attach to with a
wing nut. It makes it easy to disconnect your battery without tools, and
attaching the winch power leads are a snap.

Re: Where to mount an auxillary battery.
It was sort of mentioned by Jenn, but a good isolator is also a really
good idea so each battery is independent.
