My truck has dual alternators good for 397amps (I don't know at what RPM). I have (2) new Odyssey ODX-AGM65 batteries. I'll be running 4/0 cable for my 16.5ti in the front that I will connect at the battery with Anderson connectors when needed. Figured I would do the same for the rear winch. But I'm thinking another battery under the bed right near the winch might make more sense. I'll probably use it most to pull vehicles up on to a trailer, but I obviously don't want to burn it up if I'm stuck pretty good and need to get out in reverse. I have seen how people use a ton of snatchblocks to pull oneself out to the rear with a front mounted winch. I have enough blocks to attempt this, but I don't think I want to count on having all the proper anchor points. Plus I already had this Zeon 12 that was going to go on a wheeler project that keeps getting delayed so I figured why not throw it on the Ford.
If you think the battery is the way to go, what size battery and how would you wire it?
