Why is my Ramsey Electronics Winches motor running so hot?
- AAshley AlvaradoAug 9, 2025
Your Ramsey Electronics Winches motor may be running hot due to several reasons: * Extended operation periods: Cooling-off periods are essential to prevent overheating. * Insufficient battery: Check the battery terminal voltage under load. If it's 10 volts or less, replace the battery or connect another battery in parallel at the motor terminal. * Inadequate electrical cables: Ensure the electrical cables from the battery to the winch are of the correct size and capacity for the voltage. * Poor electrical connections: Inspect all connections for looseness or corrosion; tighten, clean, and grease them. * Insufficient charging system: Consider replacing it with a larger capacity charging system.
