I am installing a secondary battery with the True battery isolator. I already have a winch, my question is should I leave my winch power on the starting battery or move it to the secondary battery?

Second battery. If you can, leave the starting battery alone and use 2nd battery for all accessories 👍

Moving the winch to the 2nd battery prevents the winch from pulling down the voltage on the primary. These machines have too many electrical parts expecting the appropriate voltage. Transmissions can act funny when you drop the voltage with the winch.

Yes, move to the 2nd battery, that is what I have done also.
