I use a 47ah, 4S pack from part of a Chevy Volt pack for my on board accessories. I charge it with a regular 12V charger. I am going to parallel it to make 94ah, but haven't bothered to do it yet. I'll likely do that once I get the stereo and subwoofer rewired in the cart.

But as a 12v source for a winch I probably wouldn't use 47ah pack for that. The doubled 94ah would probably be OK, but you have no LV cutoff in a winch... So you'd need to be mindful to not let it get to 12.0 or lower V.
