separate battery to power winch

[Biggred1972]

The title says it self I was curious if you could use a small separate batter to power a winch system on an axial wraith? If so what size lipo would I use? cause I'm using a venom 5000mah 2cell an I would like to leave the power that has to my truck an use the other battery to power the winch, is that possible?

I run a mini 2s up front for my winch, works great.

That's what I was thinking but then would I need to run a. Bec for the mini 2s lipo to control the power output of the battery?

I've been running a 350 3 cell through a micro sidewinder for over a year now , Works great , has low volt cutoff that iv'e never hit and the brake keep the rig put however steep the hill is.

I bought a venom 2100mah 3 cell the other day plus ordered a new winch just in case I burn one out when I try this an I do have the castle bec as well so this thanksgiving weekend we shall give it a shot

I have the warm winch with the wireless control unit. I've never had it connected to anything but it's own battery directly connected. I started using a 25c 4000 mah 2s venom. Then switched to a 1800 mah 2s venom, now an using a 60c 2200mah 3s turnigy. All you should need to do is check your winch manufactures recommended voltage. The warn from rc4wd is 3s capable. Some others are only 2s like my son's integy, which he also runs of of direct battery power same as me.
