My new GMC pickup truck has a 40 amp, fused circuit in the back end to power 
trailer accessories. You might be able to find something like this in your 
vehicle, try the owners manual or a shop manual. If the vehicle was set up 
from the factory with a towing package there is a pretty good chance that the 
harness will have this somewhere. If not, then you get to make a connection 
and add the fuse/wires to do the job.

That gets the power back there, now you need the charger. Here in the land of 
bass boats these can be had at the boat dealers - in fact, those guys would 
be happy to wire up the whole rig for you if you bring $$$. Cabelas 
(www.cabelas.com) has a charger that will do this - but it isn't cheap, there 
may be a better source out there somewhere. Their system is made to charge 
multiple boat batteries, shock and waterproof, all the good stuff. If you 
find a good cheap source let me know...

 << I wondered what would happen if I connected the winch 
  battery to that outlet.  Would it charge the winch battery over time? 
  Of course I am interested in not doing damage to my cars electrical 
  system.    No guesses please. >>
