Regulator has voltage and temperature sensors at the battery bank so I guess
I will do it. Have to document and label everything fully though or some
day an electrician is going to be cursing me mightily. :-)

Is the regulator going

Is the regulator voltage sense wire connected directly to the
batteries?

If so, I really don't see any issue. For the short durations that the
winch is actually operating it probably doesn't make a huge difference
in any case.
