You can hook up a battery and 240v 12v heavy duty charger system,that is the easiest way to get over that problem. The charger has to deliver enough amperage to cover the load from the winch.

Are you able to set up a 24 volt system in your 12 volt land rover to run a 24volt winch?

Yes, you will need to install a second 12V battery in series with your existing 12V battery to supply 24V to the winch. However, to keep them charged, they have to be charged in parallel. You'll need a schematic to do this correctly and not damage the winch or batteries. I recommend you contact the winch manufacturer for a schematic. It might be best to purchase two new 12V batteries to operate the winch and not tie into your Land Rovers battery. I would purchase "deep cycle" marine batteries such as are used in boats and RVs. These will give you the best performance They are available anywhere batteries are sold.
