Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, if you wired the batteries so that they output was 12 volt then you can use them with a 12 volt winch like the Bulldog Winch part # BDW15006 that you mentioned. If the two batteries are 12 volt they would need to be wired in parallel so that the voltage stays 12 but if they are 6 volt they would need to be wired in series so that output is 12 volts.
