heavy wire and Anderson connectors

[mr.mindless]

I can use the frames for grounds, so probably 40' of single strand 4/0, 6 ring terminals 2 anderson plugs and caps. also split loom to cover  the 4/0. chafing that would be bad news bears.

20ish feet battery to plug
2' batt to frame (I only have factory heavy gauge grounds to the block)
2' frame to plug
4' plug to trailer frame
10' plug to winch?

i need 15' of wire for a new welding ground clamp.  mine is way too short

[mr.mindless]

do you need 4/0 or can you get away with less?

you set your parking brake all the time right?  why not just have a relay open the charge circuit and isolate it while winching?

LOL

Maybe my post was unclear but I suggested the same thing.

But use a Master "ON" switch local to the winch.

Active/ Passive circuit.

To use the winch you are forced to turn it "ON".  However at the same time it disconnects the charging circuit.

Hell, for that matter you could just wire the charging circuit to open when either "IN" or "OUT"  button was used for the winch and  "dummy proof"  the whole mess.

Nothing to turn "ON" / "OFF,   no parking brake to set, no charging circuit to unplug/plug.

I missed that! Easy; like it.
