On my quest to buy a winch at the moment I am seeing such things as "minimum 650 CCA requirement for winching" I understand that is related to the battery but are they basing that on the user using the winch with the engine off and running on battery alone or having the engine on will still mean you need a certain CCA battery requirement ? If anyone could alloborate would be more than grateful !
The CCA is cold cranking amps. Meaning how many amps the battery can throw at the winch, starter motor or whatever. The higher the CCA the better. If the CCA isn't high enough, then your winch will not get the amps it needs to perform as it should.
But the battery is only part of it.
Always remember to use good cables and a good solenoid (Albright). I never use anything less than 50 mm2 cable, preferably 60 mm2.
Ok perfect I ll bare that in mind when I'm ordering my bits as I need to re locate the electrics that come with the warrior winch under the bonnet with the design of the o.r.a bumper
from my other post, I havnt got any yet just making sure im prepared and have the right info before making the correct choice and having to buy everything once not twice because of lack of knowledge lol
