| Gave to my husband for a Christmas present, he charged it up. Worked like a charm to pull a truck that wasn't running into the garage the very next day. |
Old batteries?

| I have not had an opportunity to fully test the lifting/pulling power of this winch, but I can report that the batteries do not retain a charge in storage, either in or out of the device. Upon receipt of the winch (with dead batteries) I charged both batteries for several hours, put one in the machine and tried it out briefly against arm strength. All the indicator lights came on to show a full charge. It is much more noisy than I expected, and the motor must run to pay out the cable, as well as to retrieve it. After charging, I put it in the trunk. Two weeks later, when moving it, I tried to test it again. Unfortunately, neither battery had enough energy remaining to power the winch for even a minute. |
