Question:
I want to put a battery to my winch and charge or maintain that battery by using my truck battery. I want to use quick connects and I have a 2011 f250 superduty.

Using quick connect like the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit - Quick Connect to Terminal End - 3 Gauge - 24' Long # BDW20026 you will simply connect the ends to the auxiliary battery for your winch. I recommend using a battery isolator like # DW08771 to keep the aux battery from draining the starter battery. This will allow you to charge and maintain your battery while still protecting it.
If you will only be running the winch off the auxiliary battery, then you can use # 10-1-1 and circuit breaker # 9510 to maintain it.
