So doing the math, my winch has a 1.5 hp motor, 1100 watts. The additional batteries will be a good addition at some point, but it still won't eliminate the need for idling. Can't afford to get stranded with a truck that won't start. I used to use a trailer that had much less winch on it, and its own battery, with no charging hooked up. We could get a couple good, solid 20-30' pulls, loading 2 buildings, before it was getting weak and needed a good round on the charger.
