get a new battery that can take the winch.

Either your charging systems is weak or the winch is drawing more amps than your battery and charging system can cover. My first choice would be the charging system is weak. Most likely is a diode in the rectifier is blown or the regulator is bad. Then again it could be a weak stator (charge coil), but this is least likely. If the winch is over amping, the motor is bad or there is a loose or dirty or corroded connection.
