Powering a electric winch
My 2015 F350 diesel comes with 2 batteries, not sure how they are connected, so to connect winch to only 1 or run cable to both? Max draw about 400A.What says the gurus. Frank.

It takes a full 20 minutes of rest for a standard winch motor to cool-down. Between 70F and 300F the motor will lose 30% of its pulling power.
A snatch block can easily double line pull speed when a straight pull overloads the winch motor. With little load a snatch block will halve line pull FPM. But be careful with overloading.
