winch battery recommendations

HandOverFist · 09-09-2017, 08:13 AM

I'm adding a winch to a new enclosed trailer soon and was wondering what type of battery would give the best performance and longest life? Conventional cranking...deep cycle? This one will be wired to charge from the tow vehicle's alternator when running down the road and while in use...of course a battery tender for when it sits idle. The winch is rated at 4500 pounds if that makes any difference. Thanks for any input in advance.
