Winch wiring to 2nd battery

I just put in a secondary battery to run my winch. I went with the optima yellow top. My Surepower 1314 is in the mail. The winch that I am using is a Warn Work 3700#. It was free and figured it should work. Well I know it works. My question is how should I wire it up? I am leaving on a trip next week before I will get my Sure Power so for the time being it is just wired straight to the optima. Should I have this wire to a fuse block?

u can run ur 2nd battery of the stock battery in parrel and it will get a charge to..

yes have a fuse in line

Will I be ok to run in parallel if my stock battery is the original? Can you explain how to run the fuse for the winch? I am terrible at electrical.

yes running to the stock battery is fine...pos to pos neg to neg..

check the main power wire from winch did it come with a fuse in line? i never hooked one up so ill ask my fatherinlaw'' cuz he did his ''what he did i think a relay and all...

hopefully sum winchers chime in soon and help ya

I'm getting ready to wire up my Warn 2000 winch up on my truck bed to my truck battery. I traded a set of OEM HID lights for this winch (both Used). When he sent it to me it included a brand new switch and a brand new Solenoid. Should these winches be wired through a solenoid ??
