Parts Needed To Recharge An Enclosed Trailer Battery With Shore Power
Question:
I’m looking to get power in my enclosed cargo trailer. I believe I’d like to install marine batteries with an inverter to run lights and a few plugs. This is a construction work trailer. I would like to be able to recharge the batteries with “shore” power when the trailer is parked at job site. Could someone give me direction on how to go about doing this in detail? Thanks in advance.

You'll need to start by installing a power inlet like the NOCO AC Port Plug # 329-GCP1 to get your shore power connection. From there you can install a battery charger like the NOCO Genius # 329-GENIUS10 to keep the batteries charged while at the job site.
