There are no silly questions……just the people who ask them! 😂

Was chasing advice on power required to run a 12V winch in the shed via a transformer / power supply, not worth the bother as I have a good 44AH AGM battery and C-tek charger.
Did not end up asking the question so plainly not silly !

Yes, amazing how much winching you can do on the bike battery alone. 👍😇

Agreed, when I finally located some power requirement data for a 3000 lb winch it stated that current draw can be 60A @ 12V !
That is with 3 layers of rope on the winch drum [greater diameter so less mechanical advantage] and pulling the full rated 3000 lb.
Probably worth remembering to run out lots of rope if in a particularly big hole but a good std battery should cover most situations easily.
My winch job is actually for the Ural but the winch is mounted on the front of an ATV lift I park the bike on, my slopes of Kilimanjaro driveway means some speed is required to get to the top where it achieves nearly level before the bike lift ramps.
Slow too much or stop and I get wheelspin on the ramps, speed makes accurate wheel placement difficult and the lift is happier with the bike wheels on the RH edge of the platform .
Running hard onto the lift could also loosen the dynabolts used to secure the lift.
Had the winch sitting on a shelf unused.
