In the past I have ran one 12v battery which powered everything engine and front and back winches it always worked well but for the new build I'm looking to do somthing different/better is it worth running a 24v setup and overvolting a bow motor also could some one explain what I would need to do to run 24v or should I have a battery for running start up and such like then one for each winch or just one for the winches basically what do most people do now and or what do you advise thankyou

24v will give a lower current draw for the same power winch which is an advantage regarding cables and switches.

If your doing 24v winches I would keep your vehicle electrics untouched and add a 24v alternator and 24v worth of batteries just for the winches.

Or keep a 12v set up.

Big capacity batteries (whether singular or plural). Uprated alternator (or plural if you are really keen).

If you will be doing big winch jobs go for a split charge set up, but otherwise keep it simple and just have batteries in parrallel.
