I checked my windlass batteries the other day and saw they were new in 2009! Though they still seemed to be holding a charge, I knew it was time to replace them. 16 year old wet acid batteries are a testament to the quality of the Interstate batteries from Costco. I use two of them to power our Lofrans Tigres windlass that pulls a lot of power, and I always do this with the engine running, alternator powering, and the windlass batteries linked with the house batteries, also two deep cycle. So in effect, there are four batteries putting power to the windlass. We never lack power for pulling up our rode!
