[TowerTalk] Fwd: DC for winchwes

[Hans Hammarquist]

I have picked up a couple of "old type" battery charges at auctions. One has a "starter booster" position that give ~ 50 A @ 12 v. The other positions are 5, 10 and 30 A charging. Works great for my winch (No, it's not used to lift my tower as that is a fixed installation). I wouldn't recommend it for anything with electronics involve though as the peak voltage goes way high, ~20 V no load. The advantage is that it weigh little, maybe about the same as a battery for my lawn mower, compare to a much heavier battery that could run your winch.

For those who use 12v DC electric winches or hoists to lift the tower, I am 
curious as to power sources used.
