Need to setup a winch inside a garage, so need to go from 240 mains down to 12v for the winch.
Anyone like to recommend a good converter.

A decent battery and a decent charger will do the same thing, and you then have redundancy should the car one fail and you may have a charger anyway?????.....being a winch, I assume current draw will be large (a winch of any decent size anyway). A high capacity 12V supply greater than 20-30 amps will cost a bomb.

Yep. That's where I was headed, too, but it may only be a tiny little winch

You would be struggling to find a 12V power supply that would handle the current draw of a winch. If you did, it would be mega expensive! Best option is as suggested, a 12V car battery and a charger.01 NM Exceed 3.5l Auto, SVI LPG, Pacemakers, Alloy Bar, IPF lights, GME TX3440, OME/King Suspension, 2" Lift, Toyo OCII 75's, 2500Kg Tow Hitch, Milford Cargo Barrier, ARB Fridge, ABR Dual Battery isolator, Rear storage drawers, Hema Navigator 7, JVC 7" In dash DVD, TJM Compressor, 2.5T Hand winch and all the bits that go with it, and a 17' Jayco Westport.Comment

Don't have winch specs near me atm, It was an ebay job that will move non running, but rolling cars around a workshop.
EDIT found the type I've got,
I was going to go with a decent (large) car battery, just needed to know if you guys had any other ideas.MY05 NP DiD Auto Platinum. Custom scratches. ARB bar & 12000lbs winch. Maxxis Bighorns.

What about converting a welder? My small mig welder goes down to 18V and puts out 100+ amps, maybe theres a welder out there that will do 180amp @ 12v. This would at least do for a small winch.96' NK 3.5 DOHC LWB, extractors, dual batteries, ARB winch bar and SCA 9500 winch, reverse camera, spotties and lots more to come.Look at meComment

It only draws 400 amps at full load going by the specs.
63 amps at minimum.

A mate of mine many years ago made somthing like this out of old trolly jack, a starter motor, and a battery, http://www.travellerwa.com.au/aussiewheel.html it was a bit slow but could play around with the gears, the best thing was it could go just about anywhere not just fixed in the shed.
