Easiest and best upgrade to my boat trailer brakes. Would recommend to anyone.
very nice part easy to install
This was a replacement for an aging unit. Installation was straightforward. I hope to never need the unit as it would only come in to use in the event of a loose trailer so I cannot comment on it's function.
The u-bolts worked great for mounting the battery box on an electric tongue jack. I ended up heat shrinking the leads coming out and then siliconed the hole so no water could get in. I was not able to fully test the break away switch and stop the trailer with the battery but feel confident in the product.
Good breakaway switch, but no way to know whether the battery is fully charged.
I also bought a new plug with attached junction box. The battery and charger were straight forward to wire. The only problem I had was that my old trailer wire colors did not match the new plug colors. Once I sorted out my wires everything worked well. I think it is a good battery kit
HAD TO DRILL NEW HOLES BUT OTHERWISE INSTALL WAS EASY JUST CUT AND CRIMP WIRES USED HEAT SHRINK AND SEAL BUTT CONNECTORS.
Good web site, good value, great instructional videos. Quick delivery!
Wish it had a battery stus indicator. Only one that fit the jack.

The battery can be tested for 14Vh. During the operation, the system provides a trickle charge to maintain battery voltage. When battery voltage is under 6V, the tester circuit will not have power and the red or green light on the switch will not activate, indicating that the battery is dead. I recommend using a break away kit with a battery tester like item # 20099.
