The alternator will hold it, but if you plan on running it with the engine off, don't do it for a long time because it will drain your battery. For the wiring part, would do a search online first then ask if you find it confusing.

Your right but sometimes you don't have the choice. As long as you have a good batt, and your only using it for as little time as possible. NOT the best I understand but there has been times that the heep is being a heep. hahaha

This may help with the wiring. Its fairly generic, I wouldn't use the disconnect unless you can remove the winch.
