I was deliberating adding a 2nd battery to my truck for the winch, which is removable. I have welding quick disconnects front and rear with 1/0 welding cable that is attached to the main battery that has top and side posts.
After much deliberation I opted to go with a jump pack with welding disconnects spliced in.
Which ever end of the truck the winch is on the jump pack can be tied into the other end. Cost was approx $150
And I have portable power to run 12 V accessories and jump start my truck if needed. I do realize that capacity is limited, but its not a rig that uses the winch daily.
