Expert Reply:
The breakaway system actually must be attached to its own separate battery by law in most states. Therefore, I cannot recommend that you use a seperate, auxiliary battery on the trailer or the vehicle for that matter for the breakaway switch. The most cost effective breakaway system we have for you is the Curt Soft Trac II Trailer Breakaway Kit part # C52026.
I have attached a photo for you to show how it will need to be wired.
