Is this the proper yellow-top Optima battery to use (heavy use) with a winch, or is there a better choice?

I would say the blue top deep cycle battery would work better for a winch application.

I'm using this battery: MK Deep Cycle Gel Cell 12 Volt Battery for Backup Sump Pumpsits expensive but worth it and it should last for 8-10 years. Its very heavy duty.

Assuming this is the right size battery, I would chose a AW battery. They have better ratings.

I use it on Odyssey sealed batteries regularly, and used it once on my yellowtop Optima when I ran it completely flat one day. Battery is still in my truck over a year later.

I've got a 12volt everlast marine battery. Seemed a little big for my pontoon but it works just fine. Don't have a fish finder yet but depending on the size of boat your using I'm sure connecting it to the battery wouldn't hurt. That's what I plan on doing.

Personally I like mine. It works great on my Optima batteries and works very good on all others. The size is very nice and stores with the cords inside the unit.

You can go on Optima's website and put in the year, make, model and engine size of your car and it will tell you if it will fit. I put in the info you supplied and it came up with this: OPTIMA Batteries 8073-167 D51R YELLOWTOP Starting & Deep-Cycle Battery (Reversed Post). Double check that for yourself, though.

This is a 12V battery, but for running even a small winch that still pulls ~40 amps I'd go for a bigger battery. This one is rated for 18 amp-hour (hinting it'll supply 18 amps for 1 hour, or 9 amps for 2 hours, etc) and I don't think it's a good idea to pull more than that 18 amp rating for more than a few seconds (like to crank a car).

I went on the optima site and it says that there is a 24 month replacement warranty on the battery for a normal application. For other applications the warranty varies. I have owned this type of battery for at least six years and have not had one fail yet. I started with 2 and now added the third one to my boat to replace another brand that I had nothing but problems with. But if you want to verify just go to the optima website to view the warranty.

Winch works on any 12v battery, so if you can design a mount for the winch, you can use it as long as system is 12v.

I have mine hooked to a full sized 12 volt car battery (it powers a 2000 lb winch on my 16' trailer) and it keeps it charged just fine.

I would definitely not use this for a winch. This is a light duty for basically LED lighting only.

I found this controller here on amazon, and it should be compatible with this winch. The controller:

I installed in a 2003 Polaris Magnum as well as in a CanAm 400. I have a winch on the Polaris and no issues. It's fits very nicely in battery tray. It should fit as well in yours, most ATV batteries are same size. So far I am happy with this product.

Max capacity is 17,600 lb. when using 3/8" cable. I'm using 5/16" cable that you would have on your 10,000 lb winch and it works wonderfully. Very heavy duty block and I love the grease zerk feature. Would recommend this to anyone. No point in spending a huge amount on a name brand manufacturer.

This battery is correct for my 2007 Prius. It takes a bit if effort to dismount the battery that came the car and was not easy to install the 8171-767-ffp(I think this is the name of the Optima battery,but it, was worth the extra effort. It seems to be a good choice for my 2007 Prius. I still retained my trickle charger, set up because I do not have to use it on a daily basis, I do not have electric entry either. I think it is a good set up for my use. Good luck~Ed
