![]() ![]() If, you use the winch almost daily, I could see mounting the battery and setting it up so it charges from the truck. Also proper use of snatch blocks to multipart the winch line will keep the power draw lower than using a single line pull. The battery didn't need a boost or charge during the process. We have loaded 2 yard loaders with a 9000 lb. You can keep the battery on a maintainer in the shop when not needed, install it when you think you will need the winch. It does a battery no good to bounce around on a trailer when it is not needed. How often will you actually use the winch? Daily, twice a week, every other week, or maybe once a month for example?

Does this setup require some type of relay or something to prevent the winch from draining the truck battery or how is all that handled? Truck is a 2009 F-150 Ford and the brake controller is the Prodigy Voyager model. I suppose it will be best to have the truck running when using the winch to keep the truck's battery charged. I would like to know how do I connect a battery for the winch to the center pin so the winch battery will be charged but yet not kill the truck battery. I am now going to install a 12 volt winch now for loading a tractor when it is not running.įor the electrical hookup I have the 7 pin connecter plug setup where the center pin is hot (12V +) but I don't have anything hooked to that pin now, unless the repair facility has the breakaway battery for the brakes connected there. I just had my 16' dual axle trailer with 4 wheel brakes and all the necessary lights totally refurbished and painted with new flooring and rewired so all this was replaced new. ![]()
