Go to an auto part store and ask for golf cart batteries. We ran Rahm retrievers for years on these batteries. you also need a charger that will do 6 volts. The battery does not need to be very large. About half the size of the 12 volt battery for the winch. The retriever is under much less load and the smaller 6 v retriever battery would out last two batteries pulling the winch. Sherman L Knight Team JR 425-576-4028 wk pacific std time [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Only way to slow it down is electronically, either with a 6 V battery or cutting the voltage of a 12 V battery. JT **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.
