Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey guys i have a high mount on my rb30 gq and i'v done every thing to stop it draining too much while i'm winching i have put the titan solinoids aswell as up graded my leads but every time i winch i pulls my volts from about 13.8 down to arond 8 is there any thing i can do i also have dual batterys cheers

Is this normal?
could be, the motor is stuffed!
Ill check mine next time i get it out,

if you could that would help my old winch never done it so i dont know cheers

mite be battery on the way out or alternator to small or on its way out dont forget at 8000 pound load a highmount draws 450 amps

I would get your batteries load tested, any sparky or battery place can do it for you in a couple of minutes, you may find one or both is getting a little unhealthy.

The solenoids you use won't make any difference, they just let the current flow to the appropriate place. Other possibility is that the motor is nearly cooked and draws a truck load more current than it should at a given load, but get the batts checked first.

Yeah the winch has had it,I think you should sell it to me.

What batteries do you have, and how old are they?
