Last week I bought at Harbor Freight a 12,000 lb. winch ($300 on sale) intending to install it on my 18 foot flatbed trailer. Now I can't decide what is the best and most economic way to get power to it. One way is to have a stand alone battery on the trailer, but the down sides of this are where do I put the battery and how do I keep it charged. It would be used only occasionally. Do I do an "extension" cord that is attached to the pick up battery by hand clamps that then reaches back to the winch. These are available on Ebay. And there are other choices, such as a hook up through the 7 prong plug-in for the lights or a solar powered charging system to charge up a stand alone battery on the trailer. Any wisdom will be greatly appreciated. And, by the way, the owners manual says to only use for 45 seconds and then let it rest for 15 minutes! With this rule, i'm not sure how useful it might be.
