Deep Cycle is what you want for your secondary. Optima and similar gel type batteries will give you what you need for amperage for winching applications.


Optima is not a gell battery!

You didn't say what vehical you are driving but check out power masters alternators at summit racing. They have 140 amp ones for what seems like most F-Series trucks.

You might want to look at a few of the threads here about the PowerMaster alternators, they are not thought of very highly. I have a friend that replaced his powermaster twice and still had problems. He went to a MechMan 225 amp Alternator. and drives a HUGE stereo system without problems now. I've ran MechMan 200 amp alternators in several different vehicles for many years now without any problems at all. Check out their web site!
