Fw: battery for winch gantry

["john niolon" <jniolon@bham.rr.com>]

Derek,

have you though of mounting the battery/charger at floor level and running 
heavy cable up to the winch..  Maybe a couple of #4 stranded copper cables 
(or even #2 welding cable) clamped to the gantry frame up to the winch. You 
could leave enough slack for winch movement and support the cables with a 
festoon type arrangement.. Battery easy to maintain.. no heavy lifting and 
you'll probably keep it charged more often when it's accessible  ????
