This unit was a direct replacement for the old damaged charger. Installed fast perfect fit on the trailer tongue box. This charger has been doing its job for about a year now and I’m heading into another winter so it’s about to do most of its work during the cold season. I have no doubt it will continue to perform.

I think that this item is good so far,but etrailer.com is terrible with communication about back ordered items and I will double think before I order from them again.

Convenient replacement for unit that was damaged in accident.
by: Josh04/20/2023
Every dump trailer should come with one of these from the manufacturer. Works great, keeps my battery charges for multiple dumps per day.
by: JD102010/08/2021
Bright Way Battery Charger as described. Was delivered as stated. Instead of putting an additional hole in my trailer; have used industrial Velcro to place it inside to protect from weather, connected to battery, and can run a power cord right through the existing hole on back of trailer utility box.
by: Tim. NH02/23/2023
Replaced a broken charger in a dump trailer battery/pump compartment with this one. Has worked flawlessly. I like how the indicator lights are at an angle for easy viewing from above.
by: Jeff 12/20/2022
Installation was simple, it keeps my battery at 100% and I'm glad that I purchased it.
I once forgot to unplug it before I drove away, so now I drape the extension cord
over the trailer hitch lock coupler to remind me.
by: Peter 11/28/2023
Worked just as expected. No surprises.

Product still working well after one year. I have it plugged into my dump trailer battery and the dump trailer is parked in a lean-to on the side of my shop. While it is covered, it is still exposed to hotcold temperatures. No issues with the charger thus far and its working great.

See what our Experts say about this Bright Way Battery Charger
- Can Bright Way Switch Mode Charger Charge 12 Volt Battery BankAs long as the battery bank has an output of 12 volts the Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger # BRW77FR will work great to charge it. You would wire it to your battery bank in parallel like it is currently wired up.
view full answer... - Can Bright Way Charger BRW77FR be Used with Lithium BatteryLithium batteries charge at a higher voltage than what the Bright Way Charger part # BRW77FR can be used with. Instead you'd need to use a charger that has a lithium profile like the Furrion RV Converter and Battery Charger # BRW77FR that does charge at the higher voltage.
view full answer... - Only First Set of Green Lights Shown on Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger for Dump TrailersI checked the instructions for the Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger for Hydraulic Lift and Dump Trailers part # BRW77FR and they show that if you have three of the four lights illuminated, this indicates the battery is good and the system just needs to continue charging for maintenance. If your truck is hooked to the battery and running at 2,000 RPM all four lights mean you're getting a charge from the tow vehicle.
view full answer... - Will the Bright Way 12V, 5-Amp-Hour Switch Mode Charger Work On a 12 Volt Cart BatteryThe Bright Way 12V, 5-Amp-Hour Switch Mode Charger part # BRW77FR is designed for use with 12 volt batteries with an amp hour rating over 5 amps. If this is what you have then it will work great.
view full answer... - Will Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger Work With Optima AGM BatteryWhat we have is the FC60-1205000UX which is the same as the # BRW77FR. This will work with your Optima AGM blue top battery. From what I found, the FC60-1205000UT shares the exact same specs it just has a slightly different design so it should work for your application.
view full answer... - Instructions for BrightWay BRW77FR Battery ChargerI've contacted Brightway, who forwarded me a copy of the instructions they include with the # BRW77FR switch mode charger. I've provided a clip showing the instructions for you.

- What Makes the Bright Way 12V, 5-Amp-Hour Switch Mode Charger Good for Hydraulic Lift TrailersThe functionality of the Bright Way 12V, 5-Amp-Hour Switch Mode Charger part # BRW77FR is not much different than a standard AC to DC charger. The benefit of the above and what makes it more geared towards hydraulic lift trailers is the integration of the battery charger inside the battery box meaning you don't have to keep the battery box lid open while charging the batteries and running cables out. The charger also has a cutout off to prevent overcharging as well as push to test LEDs.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Battery Test Button of Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger part # BRW77FRHey Tyler, so what I would try is completely unplug the Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger part # BRW77FR for a few minutes and plug it back it. There's a good chance all it needs is a hard reset and the button will start working like it should. If not, it developed an internal short and that feature is gone and there isn't a way to repair it. Since its still charging you could just keep using it without that function but otherwise it would be time to replace it.
view full answer... - Why is Light Blinking on Bright Way Switch Mode Battery ChargerThe instructions for the Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger # BRW77FR shows that a solid yellow light indicates charging while a solid green light indicates a fully charged battery. Since your charger is blinking it means that your polarity is reversed (yellow fast blink), the battery is dead/defective (yellow blink), or there is a low voltage situation (yellow/green blink). I'm attaching a review video as well as a photo of the instructions for you to check out.

- Can 100 ft Extension Cord be Used with Bright Way Battery Charger for Dump TrailerHey Ryan, thanks for reaching out! The only drawback you'll really see with a 100 ft extension cord and the Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger # BRW77FR is that the charging might not be as effective as you would see with a smaller cord. This is simply from natural voltage drop that occurs over longer distances though so the only way to "fix" it would be to park your trailer closer to an outlet.
view full answer... - No LED Lights on Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger for Hydraulic Lift and Dump TrailersThe Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger for Hydraulic Lift and Dump Trailers part # BRW77FR has a one year warranty from the date of purchase. Therefore, if there are ever any issues with the battery charger, one year from purchase, then you would be covered and sent a new one from the manufacturer. If you are outside of the warranty period then the unit would need to be replaced out of pocket. I have attached for you below a clip from the owner's manual you'll want to review before...

- Can I Use the Bright Way 12v Charger on 6v Batteries Wired in SeriesYes. The Bright Way # BRW77FR can charge a bank of 6v batteries wired in series as a 12v system.
view full answer... - Is Bright Way Charger # BRW77FR WeatherproofIdeally you'd keep the Bright Way Charger part # BRW77FR away from exposure to any wet weather but it is considered weatherproof.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger Not ChargingThe first thing to check is that the power source you have the Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger # BRW77FR is actually producing power. If you have power you should see at least the "Power On" light lit up on the charger. You can also double check that your outlet is good by plugging something into it that you know is in good working order (like a power drill or a light). If your other product works then it could be the Bright Way unit and you'll want to take advantage of the 1-year...
view full answer... - Why is the Power On Light Stay on when Unplugged on My Bright Way Charger # BRW77FR?I went ahead and called my tech at Bright Way, and he confirmed that there's a diode that prevents backflow from the battery to the charger on the Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger # BRW77FR. These are on all Bright Way models in order to make sure that the device does not leech off the battery. With that being said, the issue you are having is most likely the LEDs taking a couple minutes to dim after unplugging. As long as the device is functional in every other way, there is no replacement...
view full answer... - Will Bright Way Battery Charger BRW77FR Work With Deep Cycle AGM Battery?Yes, The Bright Way # BRW77FR you were looking at will work with a deep cycle AGM battery, and have no problems charging it then maintaining it once charged. I included an install video of my buddy Kevin putting this in a cargo trailer for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Owners Manual for Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger # BRW77FRYes, I attached a picture of the owners manual/instructions of the Bright Way Battery Charger # BRW77FR that I got from them.
view full answer... - Type of Power Does Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger for Hydraulic Lift and Dump Trailers UseThe Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger for Hydraulic Lift and Dump Trailers # BRW77FR can only accept power from 12 volt power sources like a vehicle battery/charge system. Shore power is AC power and would not work.
view full answer... - Can Bright Way 12V Charger Charge Bank of BatteriesAs long as the output voltage of the battery bank is 12 volt the Bright Way 12V, 5-Amp-Hour Switch Mode Charger for Hydraulic Lift Trailers # BRW77FR is going to work well. Parallel means that the voltage is the same so it would need to be two 12 volt batteries whereas in series would require two 6 volt batteries.
view full answer... - Does Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger for Hydraulic Lift and Dump Trailers Go Into Float ModeThe Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger for Hydraulic Lift and Dump Trailers # BRW77FR does not go into a float mode once the battery is topped off. It basically will always put out a 5 amp charge as long as it's hooked up. This is a relatively small charge though so it won't over charge.
view full answer... - Can BRW77FR Be Wired To The Battery In Conjunction With A Solar ChargerThe problem to watch out for, is not the voltage, it's the current (cfm). If your battery recommends 30a max charge current and both of your chargers are rated at 15a, you're good to use them both at the same time. If your chargers are both 30a units, then you could damage your battery. Since both the Solar # BRW54FR and wall charger # BRW77FR are 7.5 Watts I don't see there being an issue. The wall charger has a cut off when the batter is fully charged and the solar will maintain the the...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brightway Charger BRW77FR that Doesn't Show Lights OnIt could be that the entire unit is broken or it's just the lights that stopped working. You could use a circuit tester like the part # PTW2992 to check if it's outputting any voltage. If it's not then it would be time to replace it.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Bright Way Charger Where Light Doesn't Come On When Plugged InHey Craig, it sounds like your Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger for Hydraulic Lift and Dump Trailers # BRW77FR is working but there's a bug with the light that comes on when plugged in. I would try disconnecting it from your battery and reconnecting it to see if a reset clears out the issue. You can also use a circuit tester like part # PTW2992 to test the leads of the charger when plugged into make sure it's working.
view full answer... - What Does Flashing Yellow Light Mean on Bright Way Switch Mode Battery ChargerI checked out the instructions of the Bright Way Switch Mode Battery Charger part # BRW77FR for you. It states that a yellow blinking light means that the battery is bad or defective. Therefore, I recommend taking the battery in to have tested or testing this yourself using a tester like the Digital Battery Tester and Analyzer part # PT76QV. If the battery test good, then you'd want to file a warranty claim or replace the charger.
