2014 jkur too wimpy of battery for Warn winch?
So I ordered a new Warn VR10000 and I find out that it says I need at least a battery with 650CCA and lo and behold my stock battery says it is 600CCA is this going to cause issues?

By holding the rpm around 2500 or so the alternator shpuld handle most of the load while winching. Maybe if you were winching an extended distance for a long time it might use some battery voltage.

ok I do have a procal and it has a feature to raise rpms.
What size breaker is needed? I was hoping that Warn would have one included with the winch.

I had 5 long pulls using the stock battery, the battery light kept coming on and I was revving the engine the whole way... A week later my stock battery was so dead it couldn't be jumped. The stock batteries don't like being drained heavily.

X2 on the ultima yellow top. My stock battery died after 2-3 uses. I also thought I could get away with it with high revs and intermittent pulls but in the end a yellow top was the best option.
