hhhhmmmm..... wonder if the system could take 4000 cca? lol.... price is right. i bet the standby time on the battery would be like 8 hours

 

You cant have too many CCAs the starter will only draw as many as it needs. WTF combo of batteries are you running to get 4000CCAS?

 

holy hell 4000cca!!

 

four of your regular 1000CCA wired in parallel would do that, actually I've been thinking about it myself lately... Where are you going to install the extra batteries?

 

yeah but if the starter only needs so much cca then whats the point of having the extra couple thousand?

 

Winch?

I used to have dual batteries in my 82 chebby with a 350 small block. I wonder if thats what kept frying my starters......Damn Chebby

 

So you can get ten 15-second cranks to purge the fuel system, instead of only five on a good day

 

More cca's isnt neccesarily a good thing. Batteries get more amps by adding more (meaning smaller) plates in their cells, which cuts down on how long the battery can maintain a load. Lower cca batteries use fewer large plates so while they may not whiz the motor over as fast on a cold day, on any other day they can handle their rated load longer than a high cca battery.

2000 cca each.

 

and thats not true at all. size plays a huge role, but just because your battery is 200 cca doesnt mean its going to last as long as a battery with 800. and dry cell, agm and standard batteries are all breeds of a different animal.

 

Just a thought on the winch, would it be better to isolate a couple of deep cycle batteries with a diode?

 

Yup thats how a lotta people do it on offroad riggs have the alternator charge all the batteries but the winch only draw from the deep cycle that way if your trucks in a possition it can't run and you use your own winch to get it out once its back on its wheels you know you still have juce to start it, if you buy one of the pre made kits it will also have a swich so you can jump it off the deep cycles if you ever need to.

 

Get one with a Yanmar Diesel engine and tap into the lift pump or perhaps remote mount the engine in your utility box and just run the hydraulic lines up front..



Or just get a huge front bumper...

 

that winch is way too small. i had a 12k on my chevy. wanting to throw a 20k hydraulic on this one.

 

heck yes... bigger is always better! but they way you have your truck done up and the way your buildin this upcoming 6.9 you already know that
