Best Battery For Plowing

[Northpoint]

I have a 2021 Talon X Live Valve, the first year of use I had no issues with it starting. At the end of 2021 I had a winch and light bar installed, no lighted switches. Late Fall early Winter I had trouble starting it, and then it wouldn’t start at all. I jump started it, then tried to used the winch and it stalled. I placed it on a battery tender about 2 months ago And it will not turn over. The voyage is reading 12.6, but it will It turn over. My RZR is reading 12.6 volts and starts just fine. I‘m thinking bad cell… I live in the Northern Region, so cold temps are common. Thanks for any feedback NorthPoint!

A plow winch pulls a lot of amps. If you don’t already you really should consider an isolated auxiliary battery for the winch and lights.

I also bet your light bar is pulling really hard on the battery if it’s a big light bar.

Likely your main battery is toast. Might show good volts but not have any available amps.

Thank you that’s what I was thinking What would you recommend for a bigger better battery. Thx

That’s the beauty of an auxiliary battery, you can put in whatever you want as long as you have enough space for it.

There are a lot of threads on this.
