There is not a standard cold cranking amp rating for all 2,500 lb winches. They will each be different as they do not all draw the same amount of power, therefore the manufacturer will specify this. If you take a look in the owner's manual for the winch you have then it should give a recommend cold cranking amp rating for the battery but if not you would need to contact the manufacturer and ask them.

For reference, the Bulldog Winch Powersports Series ATV Winch part # BDW15006 has a 2,500 lb capacity and recommends using a battery with at least 650 cold cranking amps to power it.

The Bulldog Winch Powersports Series ATV Winch - Wire Rope - Roller Fairlead - 2,500 lbs # BDW15006 will fit your 2004 Polaris Sportsman 500. You will also want the custom fit mount # BDW15159 for the perfect fit. I've attached a video of a very similar installation to assist.

The Badland Winch 2500 has an amp draw of 132amps at 2500 lbs. I know you wouldn't be using at it's capacity but I would go with a higher rated battery like the Bright Way Deep Cycle part #BRW94FR which is rated for 100 amp hours.

Answer 12

First you have to look at the amperage the winch draws and compare it to what the 12 volt circuit on the 7-Way connector is rated for. Winches can draw a lot of power and could easily over draw the 12 volt circuit on the 7-Way. Most 7-Way connectors…
