titan Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 ok i got a superwinch s9000 but its 24v not complaining i got it cheap but how best is it to hunk it up my defender is 12v so my options are to put two battery mounted in the back (moving the main battery from the front) then connecting the winch up to the two and then have a switch connected to a series link between the battery which mean i can flick a switch and make the circite 24v but this may blow my other electrics next option is to mount 2 batterys in the back but this time keeping the main battery in the battery box so three in total and have a set of switches to disconect the front battery form the two in the back and as above to turn on the series connection a bit complicated but means the hole thing is controled by switches third option is to use crocdile clips and a switch set up 3 bty as above switch to disconect front btyto rear and then have a series connection on croc clips to put on when i need to use the winch and then have a pump lead type set up to power the winch or is there an easyer way any help much needed cheers shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Neale Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Why not swap the winch motor out for a 12v one? I'm sure someone like David Bowyer over at Goodwinch should be able to sort you out at reasonable cost.. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Why not just buy a 12v motor for the winch? Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveG Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 AS above fit a 12v motor or if you do want 24v then fit two batteries in series and fit a 24v alternator. Then wire new batteries up to 24v alternator, keeping your 24v winch circuit totally isolated from 12v vehicle circuit. this is the simplest and most effective way to power 24v winches.
