Will Car Battery Power the Superwinch Terra Series ATV Winch
Question:
Will this winch work with a 12V car battery. I bought one and a car battery and it doesnt work. Dont know too much about batteries, what is DC? Do I have to purchase a 12VDC battery? Is this a boat battery?

Yes, the Superwinch part # SW1125220 will work with the power that is seen on a car battery. 12 volt car batteries are DC power sources like what this winch is designed to work with.
Houses use AC power which is different from what a car battery and the winch you referenced use.
If the # SW1125220 isn't working with the battery you bought most likely the battery needs to be charged or the winch is not wired up properly as it would be the correct power source.
