could I use this for a Winch? with the specification 12VDC minimum 12Ah?

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

I would definitely not recommend this for a winch. This is not a power supply that will give much Ah power especially sustained, this is a light duty for basically LED lighting only. You will do nothing but fry out the power supply.

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

You need to buy winch contactor as well to use this with a winch. This is just a simple switch. The winch contactor is needed to handle the large voltage needed to run the winch. I have both and they have worked well so far.

I don'tI don't see why not.It works on 12 voltsIt is very simple to install

Yes , I think that would work just fine. My winch has never generated much heat at all. In fact my cable has some kinks and is starting to fray. I will replace with synthetic when the time comes.

I use it on a 12 volt boat system. It is very bright, you need some power. I doubt what you suggest would be enough.

No.the winch is 12 volts, dc, and use 2 conductors [wires]. 3 prong plugs like those you find on house hold appliances, are 120 volt ac. You'll need a 12 volt power supply, like a car battery, to operate this winch. It's an easy installation for anyone with a smidgen of auto repair knowledge.

My winch wasn't listed eather. I looked at the wireing harness and decided it would work so Ibought one. It works great.

I found this controller here on amazon, and it should be compatible with this winch. The controller: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002PNOKKQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1386119695&sr;=8-2π=SX200

The control just runs the control wiring so I don't see why it wouldn't work with any type of solenoid on any brand of winch. Is controlled both forward and reverse.

The winch cables are quite long about 4 feet I would guess they go to a relay then the battery so if you mount the relay infront of the battery they should work just fine. its a nice set up Duane from Yakima Wa

It works with most warn winches so I would think so, but check the specs on the website to be sure.

I ran a small 400 watt inverter off of this unit to operate a laptop computer up on the dash of my motorhome while underway. Worked fine but the key of course is having it on a properly fused 12 volt circuit matched to whatever device your trying to run. This unit has a 15 amp limit. Use it improperly and I'm sure it would burn up.

Not sure on that but could not get wired up to winch to work so went with manual switch and longer cables. Tried to return for credit immediately and Amazon or seller would not return which I am not pleased by. Boycott all China product whenever possible. If was USA based assume would have no problem returning.

NO! The extension is rated for less than your winch, and the extension would increase the side loading WAAAAY too much.

The cables where short for my side by side I had to buy more cable wire it would work for a four wheeler if you are going to have the battery with in about 4 ft of the winch should be good if not buy so 6 gauge wire add to it. AS FAR AS the battery any 12 volt battery will work what matter is how often you going to use it and if the battery is being charged back up like me I just have a 12 volt lawn motor battery but my side by side charges the battery as I am riding it if you are going to use alot without be charged get a deep cycle marine battery if not goi to use much but not hooked to charge regular car battery should be fine hope this helps The cables where short for my side by side I had to buy more cable wire it would work for a four wheeler if you are going to have the battery with in about 4 ft of the winch should be good if not buy so 6 gauge wire add to it.

This unit produces the correct 12 volts from the 36 volt battery bank to power your winch. However, be careful of the output current draw required for winch. The voltage reducer is rated at 10 amps output, so any equipment current draw should stay under that value. You should find the current requirement for your winch on its paperwork or somewhere on the winch itself. Be aware that it will draw much more current under load. For additional safety, I installed a 10 amp fuse in line with my reducer's 12 volt output line. This should be a "slow blow" type fuse to allow for initial current surge often experienced with motors (such as my garden sprayer). I'd rather blow a fuse than burn out my reducer.
