Question:
I have a trailer break away battery system with internal charging while connected to vehicle. What device is available to keep the battery charged while not connected to vehicle? Regards

Expert Reply:
For maintaining your trailer battery I recommend using a Duracell Battery Charger and Maintainer # DU87FR. This will plug into a standard wall outlet and charge/maintain your battery to help extend the battery life.
If you park your trailer where you do not have easy access to power the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger # BRW54FR can be used to charge the battery. This can be mounted to part of the trailer and is also easily removable with the 2 prong in line plug.
If you store your trailer during the winter with little to no use I recommend bringing the battery into a warmer area. Batteries that spend a lot of time in the cold without use are prone to freeze and can damage the cells inside the battery or the case.
