I suspect it will work as long as ignition is on, but recommended to have engine on as a winch under load will drain batteries quite quickly without the engine running
Do please explain
You can use them without the engine running.
Exactly the same with the Grenny winch, the limitation being the extent of 12v power - therefore far better operated with the engine running, or if not then with additional auxilliary power available through the nato plug.
Standard practice to leave the engine running especially winching under load Unless you want a flat battery
Yes I normally do but in the oh s**t moments its useful also respooling after
That's why the dual battery setup has the Ctek smartpass unit to ensure there's always enough juice to start the engine.
The battery would be 105Ah rated that does not mean the max it can output is 105A. A standard starter battery can put out 500-600A for very short periods. A & Ah are different things
Not only that, but it's highly unlikely the winch will operate at maximum power without the engine spinning. I actually have a winching mode on my RAM (through my Tazer) that raises idle to over 2,000 rpm. Same goes for using an air compressor. I always have the engine running.
The auxilliary (2nd) battery is a standard item with the Trialmaster.
Ha. Sry, probably the reference video of this thread.
I'm aware of that, it's more to do with capacity when winching for periods of time with the engine off.
