I also run a yellow top, ive done decent length pulls hauling friends out while running headlights and 165w kc daylighters no probblem. My stock battery lasted about a weekend hauling logs out of the woods while running rpms higher with superchip programmer.

That's what I replaced my dead battery with, a Diehard Platinum Marine/RV Deep Cycle Battery.

I always thought deep cycle type batteries were not ideal for car batteries. I did contact Warn and they got right back to me and said that for occasional recovery use the 600cca battery is not a problem but if heavy use is in the works then upgrading is a wise idea. My jeep is only a month old so I hate replacing a brand new battery if I don't have to.

Just run the stock till it goes bad, it probably won't last you that long if you do a fair amount of offroading and winching but no sense throwing away a new battery.

Keep the new battery if it's only new but be prepared for it's inevitable failure after winching. Maybe put it in another vehicle you own or leave it in and grab a dual battery kit when it fails and wack in 2 nice new big batteries. If you've gotta replace it you might as well upgrade.

Do you have pics or part numbers for a circut breaker?

I have the same winch and I sucked it up and upgraded to a more heavy duty battery, and I also never winch without the Jeep running

Just a suggestion. If you are going to buy a new battery, eventually, anyway, you should spring for another $100, and run a dual battery set up. That's my next install or two.
