Winches Again
Sheddy:
I reckon that having thin underbody protection is worse than having none at all, it instills a false sense of safety.

BACK ON TOPIC
i would personally say electric...and also that all this split charge business is a waste of money unless you are taking part in a winch challenge.
I had a Warn xd9000i (for sale btw) on my RRC..used on an offroad week pretty frequently off my 1 battery with a standard alternator and i never had any electrical or starting problems!

I don't know what size the alternator is on the landie but providing it equals or is bigger than the winch one battery should be enough providing the engine is running fast enough for the alternator to run the winch.
Only when the engine stops are you going to run into problems with the battery :wink: :lol:

Bulli:
mudlark, your answer above shows you dont really grasp electrical winch thing at all..All electrical winches can and will draw huge amps (450+) alternators only throw out max 140. The difference is made up from your battery. I would love to see an alternator that big but think you might lose more than a few horsepower.
That is why people fit deepcycle batteries as they can stand being fully discharged without damaged.
Whats wrong with a healthy debate? yes each to their own but the world would be boring otherwise and as for no mickey taking...hey thats part of life.
