Winch Accessories & Spares
Winch Accessories & SparesFor occasional use and standard self-recovery, a single high-quality 12V battery in good condition is sufficient, provided you keep the vehicle's engine running while winching so the alternator can recharge the system. However, if you are performing frequent, heavy pulls or using the winch for commercial work, installing a dual-battery system with a heavy-duty isolator is highly recommended to prevent draining your primary starter battery.
You must match the winch to your vehicle's electrical system. If you are driving a standard 4x4, pickup truck, or 3.5-tonne recovery vehicle, you have a 12-volt system and require a 12V winch. 24V winches are exclusively for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) and large industrial plant machinery that run on a 24-volt dual-battery setup.
Novawinch systems are highly sealed, but basic maintenance ensures longevity. You should regularly check all electrical connections to the battery to ensure they are clean, tight, and free of corrosion. Additionally, you should power out and rewind your synthetic rope or steel cable under a light load once a month to ensure the motor and gearing stay lubricated and dry.
When relying on your vehicle's standard electrical system, you need a winch that maximizes pulling power without draining your battery. 12V electric winches are the universal standard for 4x4 Electric Winches, vehicle recovery trailers, and light breakdown trucks.
Because most consumer and commercial vehicles run on a 12-volt system, a 12V Novawinch integrates seamlessly with your existing alternator. (Operating an HGV, plant machine, or heavy dual-battery fleet? Explore our high-efficiency 24V Electric Winches instead.)
