I always leave my truck running when winching and I am running my winch off an auxiliary optima blue top battery. With the truck running, you are able to help the winch along by having the truck in drive while you're winching (depending on the situation you're in). The battery voltage will also be slightly higher (15% or so) with the truck running, which will cut down the amps that the winch draws.
