Err help needed......Mr clicky has a Warn winch but it doesnt have a on off lever eg manual spool out such as on a superwinch so I fear if used it will drain a battery faster than a Lolly Badcock solo porn video cant find model type....any thoughts from the Birty types....want to try it out...

I don't really know what you are after?

Views on the battery draining quickly

If you keep your revs up when the winch is being used you shouldn't have a problem. Most winches will draw about 65 amps with no load.

that will be about a  hour with a normal jeep bat

Cheers gents! That's exactly the info i wanted

[Cockney Boy]

then dont fit a normal Jeep Battery if you've got a Winch!

that will be about a  hour with a normal jeep bat

An oop graded battery may be an option..

Yellow top Optima is what I use, idea for winching

[bigjeepzj]

tractor battery's are the way to go

Yeh go with the Tractor battery, but dont forget to put it on the back seat as there will be no chance under the bonnet

Methinks a Varta may end up in the mix at some point

I think I have a Numax that seems to work just as well as previous spendy Optima and Odyssey batteries I've had.

Winching out under no load doesn't seem to affect the battery much and I do it quite a bit with my Superwinch as the bugger doesn't freespool well.
