Definitely. A 1.6 kW winch would probably be designed for 240 v AC but assuming there was one available to work on 12 v, it would draw about 150-200 amps on full load. One hour's use would need a battery of 200 Ah, so 4 or 5 car batteries in parallel would be needed to drive it.

Double the time will need double the batteries, etc.

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.


There is an electrical power outlet in the rear of your 2003 trail blazer can this outlet be use to run an electric winch?

You can use any of the electrical outlets in your 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer to power a 12 volt electric winch. Be sure to keep your motor running when running the winch. Winches are a big drain on the battery. You may even need to accelerate a bit while if the winch is pulling very hard. Recently Westin Automotive introduced a new line of winches. These winches were formerly marketed as T-Max Winches. You can check this new product line out at WestinWinches.com.
