I seem to recall somewhere reading that 12V winches draw anywhere
from 50 to 200A. Boost chargers are rated for highly intermittent
operation, after which they have to cool down. A practically small
boost charger for 100-200A will only be able to deliver that for a
matter of seconds. For the cost of a boost charger capable of
running for longer than that, you can buy several spare car
batteries, and the batteries would weigh less.


Yes, get some batteries. Store them charged.
