  • Trailer Wiring to Allow Trailer Battery to Charge from Tow Vehicle
  • The Hopkins 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector # H20046 could be used to connect your trailer's battery to your tow vehicle by using just the black (+12V) and white (ground) wires. However, the wiring in a tow vehicle cannot really deliver enough amperage to charge a trailer battery. These +12V feeds are intended to maintain a charged battery, but not to charge a depleted one. Battery chargers such as the CTEK # CTEK56353 include several wiring harnesses one of which could be installed...

  • Battery Charger Recommendation for Two 6-Volt Batteries Wired in Series
  • Since your batteries are wired so that the two 6 volt batteries are in series and produce an output of 12 volts the part # 329-GENIUS5 would be a great option. If you want to charge the batteries individually or if you want the total output to remain 6 volts, this charger will still work well for that application.

  • Availability of Trailer-Mounted Battery Boxes
  • It sounds like you are looking for a trailer battery box that mounts at the front of the trailer near the tongue and coupler (the coupler is what grips the hitch ball on the tow vehicle). Battery boxes usually have some sort of ventilation, such as on the Tow-Rax Battery Box # TWSP12B which uses a clear plastic tube for this function. You'll want to check the battery type number for your two batteries since many of these boxes fit only specific battery sizes. I linked our main page...

  • Could Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997 Overcharge Battery
  • The Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997 doesn't have an overcharge protection feature, but by design it won't over charge the battery as it doesn't put out a high enough voltage charge that would damage the battery once topped off.

  • Can I Power My RV Fridge With a Solar Panel
  • A lot of this depends on how much power your refrigerator uses and the size of your battery. I'll also add that you're likely not going to be able to accomplish running the fridge completely on solar power with only 1 battery and you're likely going to need 4 batteries to provide you with enough juice to run the fridge for several days on the battery, even when being recharged with solar power. A fridge like the Everchill # 324-000119 uses 11-amp hours of power, so it's going to consume...

  • There are several ways you can do this, I suggest using a DC to DC battery charger such as the Redarc In-Vehicle battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC, # 331-BCDC1250D. If you have or will have solar panels included in your system, even more reason to select this product. Please note attached images and the link to product review video.

  • Way to Charge Trailer Battery that Provides More than Maintenance Charge
  • The Isolation Solenoid part # PK5231201 has an 100 amp rating which is pretty high. This would be more than enough for the 12 volt circuit of your 7-way feeding a battery on your trailer. Typically this circuit is rated at 40 amps or less. This method will provide a maintenance charge on your battery but would not charge a dead battery. Most likely it's not the alternator that would need to be increased to get more charge on your trailer's batteries. The limiting factor is going to be...

  • Battery Powered LED Light Strips for Truck Beds
  • In addition to the 12 inch Access LED lights # A70380, there is also an 18 inch, # A80312 (runs off of 3 AA batteries), 24 inch, # A80296, 39 inch, # A80150, and 60 inch length, # A80170. All but the 18 inch length run off of a 12 volt system (vehicle battery). If you have or made a 12 volt battery pack that you could also mount in the truck bed you could attach the other lengths to it to power the lights. Electronics shops like Radio Shack might have what you need to make that happen. We...

  • Availlability of 8 Inch Wide TorkLift Locking Battery Box to Accommodate 2 Batteries
  • The closest offering we have would be the Torklift Power Armor Locking Battery Box, part # TLA7708R which measures 8-3/16 x 23 x 13. If you were to take an angle grinder and take a small bit of material off of one of the rails, the box could be made to fit pretty easily. Other than the 60 inch # TLA7710R box you mentioned, this is your best bet for a metal locking box. I've linked you to a product description video featuring the battery box I mentioned above.

  • Battery Lead Wire for Trailer Battery Bank with Disconnect Switch
  • We do! If you don't already have the disconnect switch then you can use the Demco Battery Disconnect Switch # DM63FR which comes with a lead. Otherwise we have leads like the 13" Deka Cable # DW01485 that can be used to bridge the gap between the switch and battery. If you need a bit more length then the smaller 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 will do the trick as well. I'm linking our selection of heavy duty wiring connections for you to filter through if one of the solutions I presented doesn't...
