What he said... however, there are many solenoids branded as isolators.. it all depended on your setup and what you're trying to accomplish. But your winch should run direct from your battery to the winch. There should have been a supplied solenoid that came with it for remote functions.
I guess my understanding of how it's wired was wrong, I thought it goes from the battery through the isolater, to the winch, that is why I was worried about amp draw. But what you guys are saying it only is used to charge the 2nd battery, just hook winch to 2nd battery, correct?
I just found a wireing diagram for the Tru atv isolator, makes perfect sense to what you guys are saying, thanks for your help, I wanted to make sure it would work for me before I ordered one. THANKS GUYS
SuperATV 3500, mainly use it for snowplow, to expensive of a machine to play in the mud to hard. I found out if I was raising the plow before I started moving the clutch would not engage, if I was moving before I raised plow it worked ok, I want to fix the that problem with a second battery as members have suggested before I burn up the clutches. Doing up grades a little at a time as budget allows, ha, ha
What I was planing to do was put a ignition switch activated relay between the battery and the fuse block to accesories to kill the power to everything when the key is off, think that will work
