So my winch is putting a strain on the altanator.
What do you do for battery or altanator upgrades?

I ran an Optima Yellow top with my winch but even with that I still got the battery light on longer pulls. But at least it's more capacity and the Optima seemed to handle the drain and recharge cycles fairly well.

The JK alt is 160amp, shouldn't need anymore than that!

You would probably be best suited with a battery upgrade.
