Thanks Don,
Had a battery melt-down once on a golf cart because of a short circuit problem... Battery didn't explode, thankfully... I've heard many a horror story regarding batteries exploding when using jumper cables, although I've jumped many a battery with no problems. Yet? Actually, I am going to adapt a heavy-duty set of jumper cables over for use with the Warn quick-connect... Connect the jumpers to the quick-connect, then to the dead battery, and then, from inside the H2, energize the solenoid with the remote switch... That should be about as safe as it can get?
Since the rear electric cables for the winch are official Warn products designed for just this use I'm fairly sure they will work fine with the Warn winch... I'd imagine that the winch motor will fail from excessive use before the cables would fail... I'm glad they were run inside the H2 frame rails --- they couldn't be much better protected, even if I hang the rails up on boulders, the cables powering the winch won't be damaged...
