If the winch is struggling is it supply sorce or the cable size?
Need a bit more than 12V at those amps, you reckon?
Just wondering, when we use batteries to weld in an emergency situation, we are basically
short circuiting them to the point of damaging the batteries, aren't we?
How do we avoid doing the same thing to a second alternator that is used for stick welding?
