Battery Charger for a Trailer Breakaway Kit Battery
Question:
I have a Trails West horse trailer that has a breakaway battery inside of the tack room. I want to connect a charging unit to that battery. It appears that all of your units come with a battery and box set up that is to be mounted on the trailer frame. Made for a trailer that presently does not have a breakaway battery system? Can you suggest a charging unit or system that could be connected to the existing breakaway battery ? If required, I could remove the existing battery and install a new unit but I would want it to be inside the tack room and not mounted to the outside frame. Any suggestions???? Thank you

Expert Reply:
Generally a breakaway kit is installed mounting the battery to the frame but it doesn't have to be. We carry a few different chargers separate from the kits themselves and I've linked our selection for you.
The most popular of the chargers if the Hopkins # 20011. To install the Hopkins charger the black wire connects to the power coming from the vehicle battery, the red wire to the breakaway kit's battery, and the blue to the pin.
I've also linked a video for you.
