For our club winches at SASS, we use pairs of Trojan 6v batteries, wired in series. These are powerful and durable, but they do get to be a mess when carried around to and from the field for charging. I�ve already burned a hole in my shorts from the acid.
For my personal winch, I use blue top Optimas, which are just fantastic. They are compact, and never leak. Each one seems to have plenty of power for a day of flying for 5-6 open class planes. I usually bring two for a full day of flying with friends. I tried the yellow top deep cycle and found that they didn�t seem to give as much torque. The blue tops are deep cycle/starting marine batteries.

I know this was discussed some time ago. And I didn't pay attention then. Now I need the information. What is the best battery to use for winches.
Thanks
