Perry You are going through the same thought process I did a few years ago. At the time I decided not to go that route for the issues you mentioned plus I didn’t want the weight. I had an opportunity to get welding cable and used that for wiring a 1500w windless. It’s braided but not tinned.

Peter, What is the chemistry of your existing batteries? Different chemistries and designs require different charging profiles. How do you plan to keep it charged? The means of charging has to be matched to the chemistry. Be careful in your selection of a battery since marine and AGM batteries

Pete, Since I’m not on the criteria list of having mounted a battery for the windless in the bow/v-berth area on our 1982 37’ I thought I’d weigh in anyway. Apologies in advance but I have to agree with Josh. I mounted a Lewmar windlass on a shelf in the anchor locker. I thought quite a bit a

Or use a lithium battery which doesn’t need to be vented, can be oriented in any direction, and would likely weigh less than the incremental heavy gauge cabling run required by the windlass connection to the charger could be much smaller depending on the expected charging rate, and dod

Don’t put a battery up there. That is a lot of weight in the wrong place and then you have to deal with charging issues. https://www.ebay.com/itm/TEMCo-2-Gauge-AWG-Welding-Lead-Car-Battery-Cable-Copper-Wire-MADE-USA-/371701459250?var=

I have to disagree with Dave. A lithium battery for the windlass would be a huge waste of money and drastically overcomplicate things. Lithium batteries are great but require substantial alterations to the boat's electrical system. Even for the windlass application, precautions need to be taken. A
