Group some ciruit breakers together on the positive wire. Superwinch used to do that years ago. |

Cole Hersee battery switch, if they dont die on a winch Patrol with a rewound motor and 24v I doubt they ever will |

i have had a bit of a look around and haven't found anything over 200amp. so whats the go? what should i use? Narva Part no. 61090 310A at 12V continuous load maximum 500A at 12V for 5 minutes I know repco and the like can order these in. http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/battery-master I don't know what they are worth, but 61075 cost me about $120 last year, so i'm guessing it'll cost more than that. Another avenue worth investigating would be the screw type isolation switches mounted directly on battery terminals. I think I have seen them in supercheap but they probably aren't rated to 450A and that would isolate everything - not just winch. Why do you want to isolate the winch when they already have a solenoid box that does that? |

Just use a winch solenoid , which are rated the same as the winch , then use a relay and switch to turn it off and on , Cheers Paul. |
