If you need something that big you might well consider an Odyssey

Charging isn't a big problem if you change your regulator
Vehicle Electrics - 0121 706 0688 ask for mark - he will probably need your existing reg. no.
I have changed mine and it seems to be charging now but it was a long way down.

Re: 6TN battery?

It was crap untill I changed the regulator to 14.7v. Now it just sits fully charged so very happy.
Went camping for the weekend and had the music and other stuff running all day and evening and the voltage barely dropped.
Haven't used the winch yet but I'm sure it has more than enough capacity.
