Wire Recommendation for Maintenance Charge of Trailer Battery
Question:
on you Part # 20011 a charge controller, if I want to use it as only a charge controller would I be able to not use the blue wire and just cut it if I have no break away switch? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The part # 20011 that you referenced is designed to charge a breakaway battery (which is very small). It sounds like you are looking for something to put a maintenance charge on a larger battery.
Which if so you would instead want to run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 from the 12 volt accessory circuit of your trailer wiring to the positive battery post. A thicker gauge wire will do a much better job charging a battery as opposed to the thinner wires of the # 20011.
