alot of landrovers use a split charging system due to the lights and winch drawing alot of power, but I went for an Optima Orange top battery in my last one (expensive but easily half the price of a good splitter system) and didn't have any bother with it at all.

I had to drag a friend out of mud in the middle of the night not long after fitting it, and even with all the spot lights on, the main beam, the winch running at full strain and the CB radio on (they draw crazy power for the size!) the lights didn't even dim. A highly impressive battery
