Only kidding around Dom. Interesting stuff coming up here - my head is totaly blown because I thought I knew this stuff.
2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

May be not. Alternator doesn't produce anywhere near as much as amps a battery would in a given short time frame.
So, it's logical to say the most of the current the winch would use comes form the cranking battery.
Winching loves CCAs.. One guy used that phrase in a thread while ago.
Lets debate and sort out whether that high amp draw from winch would affect the alternator charge wire capacity and whether it would blow the fuse.

I would like to argue that it won't. After taking what it(winch) can from the alternator, it would switch to the battery and draw the amps from there.
Only scenario I can think of alternator charge cable fuse blowing is that when the charge cable is way too low ampacity rated than the highest alternator output(lets say 60 amp wire & fuse for a 120 amp alternator).

Another thing that just came to my mind regarding the pretty valid question from the Evil Twin above is that a dual battery system may also demand a higher amp alternator to charge both batteries in good time.
I've been told that most dual battery systems out there actually isolates the cranking battery from getting drained accidentally
while using the aux battery for power needs. But, it doesn't isolate the main battery & aux battery during charging.
in other words in so called battery isolator doesn't prioritize the main battery charging before it switches to the aux battery. In other words both batteries get charged pretty much as the same rate, which means extra amps are drawn from the alternator, which may necessitate the higher amp capable charge cable+fuse from the alternator to the main battery.

I must do something wrong ! I run a fridge (old engel ) charge phones , dvd players for the kids , charge the van battery , run lights and shower pump , 1oo amp alt cheap projector vsr , 90 amp deep cycle as a second battery and same in the van hooked up via anderson plug when towing , and can sit for to 4 days with out even getting close to killing batteries , and get around 5- 7 years battery life , i do plug into a cetec charger at home to keep them conditioned , no solar ,
Should add usually go for a drive most days for maybe 1hr all up ,
