I've got an appache 13000Ap winch to fit to my disco 1 R reg 300tdi and am also planning to put a split charge system in.
I already have a snorkel in place which means there is (some) space in front of the air filter. Having measured the space if I move the power steering resviour a bit then I have 240mm (width) to fit a 2nd battery. The problem I've got is that the battery I use on the other side won't fit (1000cca 90ah). Having looked at various options it looks like I can't get a matching battery of a smaller size in there. Without spending stupid money the largest battery I can find is 63ah 610cca but I've read somewhere that for a winch I need something with at least 660cca?
The winch specs are:
Line Pull (lbs) - 12DC cucrrent A
0 - 100
4000 - 220
8000 - 330
13000 - 450
So I have three questions:
1. Does it matter that I 'm putting two different types of battery in the same system? (BA2685 | T-Max Split Charge System)
2. I take the spec to mean that I need 450ah when pulling 130000lbs which will almost never happen plus I already have a 1000cca 90ah in place. So I have spare capacity in the smaller battery and should be fine with most pulls considering I have two batteries?
3. When connecting the winch wiring up would you connect it to the smaller of the two batteries or go directly to the larger battery?
Also I don't want to locate the 2nd battery in the boot as I need all the space I can get in there!
Thanks for the help!
