Question:
Hello, I have a dump trailer with 2 12v batteries and pulling with an 2002 f550 diesel. Can you tell me which one of your chargers I need ? Thanks in advance.

There's a few different options you have for charging your batteries on your dump trailer. If you are wanting to charge the batteries while you are driving I recommend the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1250D will not only charge your batteries but it will increase the charging amps so that it charges your batteries faster.
If you want the ability to run your dump trailer off of your truck if your trailer batteries have been used, I would pick up # BDW20207. This kit will slowly charge your batteries off of your vehicles alternators. This is not the fastest way to keep your batteries charged but it is nice to have if you are out on a job and need to dump the trailer.
The last option is if you have access to electric and your can plug the trailer in at night. I would recommend # NOC64FR which is designed to charge two batteries at the same time.
