Re: [RCSE] Winch Battery
Or you can get something in between. The Delco Voyager regular deep
cycles, M24MF, M27MF, work very well. They cost an extra $10-$20 over
the cheapies, but they work a lot better. My record for a M24MF is 7
years of use on F3b winches. You usually get 5 years out of them.
The cheap batteries are only good for one season, maybe two if you are
lucky.

Re: [RCSE] winch battery charging
It is SOP in RVs to charge an auxullary battery along with the primary battery. You'll need ot add a "backflow" circuit to keep from draining the aux batt into the vehicle circuit. I'd check with an RV dealer. --Bill On Sat, 22 Apr 2000 08:45:22 -0400 Barry Andersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I have become increasingly less interested in hauling my mahoja sized winch battery in and out of the car.

The quick discharge, frequent replacement, and large bills for hernia operations when you try to use huge batteries are symptomatic of oversized winch drums. The excess current draw, extreemly low efficiency, burnout of motors, and need for gigantic batteries can be alleviated by going to a smaller drum.

RE: [RCSE] winch battery
The definatve answer from the winch doctor is: it depends! If you are launching a whole bunch of sailplanes all day long, get a deep cycle marine battery as big as you are willing to carry. If you are only interested in launching YOUR airplanes for but a few, killer launches, get a regular car battery, it will supply a stronger punch for a shorter time than the deep-cycle. -Original Message- From: Bobbi and Randy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2000 7:03 AM To: rcse Subject: [RCSE] winch battery Ok troops, hopefully this post will not start a flame war like most of the other post have lately.

Re: [RCSE] winch battery
We use a Kmart 850 marine battery. You can kill a battery by storing it partially charged between uses. Or leaving it on a concrete floor. If it is fully charged after each use, it should last 3 years.

[RCSE] Winch battery charger circuit needed
Does anyone have a circuit for a lead acid battery charger? Ideally it would switch to trickle charge when the battery was fully charged and that way my winch battery would always be ready for use.
