What are you attahing to it and what is the spec of said device?

hmmm,
jump leads , winch superwinch x3 portable , winch 12000 lb fixed winch.

also want to mount second battery and alternator what size 2nd alternator am i looking for

all this will be a separate system not messing with standard set up... that way it wont kill the car if it goes wrong

12000lb winch will be highest rated f that lot but you need to know the power of the motor not the pull force.

6hp motor will draw around 380amp - to give you some idea. I'd hard wire the big winch and use anderson plugs for the other stuff, but again you need to know the spec of the winch motor.

2nd alternators totally up to you really - I've got a 150 amp one to go instead of the std one, don't see point in fitting 2. But have 2nd battery with all auxillaries running off that with a 180amp split charge connecting them or not as i require.
