Ive been looking at the EG4 V2 12volt as a candidate to replace my house AGMs on a 39 foot catamaran. Id go 24v but dont want to toss out perfectly good electronics, so 12v it is.
The 12v v2 BMS is rated for 200A continuous, 220A for 30 seconds and up to 380A for 3 seconds.
Anyone tested one of these with a windlass or electric winch in the real world? Would 2 or 3 in parallel leave enough headroom for worst case loads?
Windlass specs seem reasonable:
According to the manufacturer, anywhere from 50 to 250 amps depending on the pull load.
I know the current can vary greatly depending on the loads encountered by the winch/windlass.
Thank you!

Windlass specs seem reasonable:
- Voltage: 12V DC
- MotorWage: 1000W
- Max Pull: 1200 lbs (545 kg)
- Work Load (SWL): 275 lbs (125 kg)
- Amps Work Load: 100A
- Amp Draw: 60-100A
- Circuit Breaker: 110A
