I just got my new battery today for the winch today and was curious if there is a limit on how many CCA my factory b2 can take. The battery I got is rated at 950 CCA and I don't want to burn anything up. Right now that battery is going to be for the winch but I am wanting to get one to power the lights and starting. At $40 a pop I can afford to get the extra battery. My buddy gets them at cost and that's what he charges me for a $200 battery! To start out with for temporary use I am just going to mount the battery under the hood and hook the winch to it. I will keep the battery separate and after I use the winch I was gonna run alligator clips from the starting battery to this battery so that it is charged just not under a load. I am hoping this will get me through my trip to Gulches ORV Park in 2 weeks then I can come back and add another alternator or a more powerful one. I believe the alternator I have now puts off 110 amps but I know it is not the one that is listed for it at the parts store. Anyways I guess my question is can I use one of these truck batteries as my starting battery? I know the whole thing about needing a deep cycle battery for this winch this is just to get me by until I am able to get the deep cycle.

No problem. Voltage needs to be close and the other component is resistance. So unless something changed with resistance with a device, and you supply the correct voltage . . . never have a concern in regards to current ( which is Amps ).
