| Last Summer I went to a 16 volt battery system and put my old optima to work on my trailer. batteries do not last forever and would rather have trailer battery fail than race car battery. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/"Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion |

| My trailer came with a Diehard deep cycle battery when I bought it. It was in a battery box on the tongue and the battery was submerged in water! I lost track of many years old it is but last time I checked it with a hydrometer 1 cell was completely dead. It still winches the car in just as good as it ever did. I throw a charger on it once in a while when I think of it but I've never had it even slow the winch down. How it still keeps going is beyond me. |

| Over voltage, such as using a 16v battery in a 12v system doesn't seem to be a problem but I would be concerned about under voltage. But if you do it report back how it worked. Curtis
