Breakaway system with built-in charger is designed to bring a trailer safely to a stop by activating its electric brakes should it become disconnected while being towed. Push-button tester lets you know if the rechargeable battery is fully charged.Following the installation instructions made the work fairly straightforward. The hole pattern for the case was as-advertised, so it fit perfectly where the old kit was installed on the trailer rail.
Would definitely purchase again! This is a good kit for setting up a break-away on your trailer. Make sure to mount it out of the way so that it doesn’t get impacted by any thing.
Very good product. Clear instructions made installation easy. Solved my wiring problem.
Very easy to install and I feel it is made to last. I am very pleased with my purchase as well as the customer service provided by E trailer.
This battery kit is a perfect replacement for the battery that was on my 16 ft trailer to operate the brakes, in case of trailer breakaway. The charging light comes on when connected to my Tacoma pickup truck, which keeps the battery charged. This is a great product, and I'm very pleased with it.
Simple installation , wiring diagram on the top cover. Easy Peasy!!
I bought these brake batteries when rewiring two old horse trailers. This is the third & fourth trailer I've rewired, so I'm pretty used to it by now. Everything about this product went together easily. Routing the wires on the trailer was another story, as usual.
I sold one trailer, but I've been using the other trailer infrequently for about a year now, and the brakes seem to be working quite well. I haven't had an occasion to test the breakaway battery out on the road, fortunately, but the little lights on the top indicate that it's maintaining a good charge, and the breakaway switch did lock up the brakes when I tested it in my shop.
BTW, I *love* pairing these with the Bargman coiled wiring plugs. They're so much nicer to use than straight wires.
Opened battery box and tabs that hold battery in place are broken

Oh no! I will have our Customer Service team contact you.
I really wanted a 9 ah setup to insure ample power but I could not find one that also had a push button test feature so I decided I would just mount two and configure them to work together. It uses two, dpdt switches to switch the units on and off line either independently or together. This gives me assurance of ample power and a backup to each other..
One thing I'm going to do is run a diode isolated circuit to the cold side of the breakaway switch to the l.e.d. Break lights so if the trailer ever did come lose, it will also apply the break lights. The two diodes will keep the tow vehicles breaklight power from back feeding into the actuator's emergency stop circuit.
This unit replaced the crusty 30 year old battery on my car trailer.
Easy installation if you do what I usually don’t. That is, read the instructions!!
The status LED charge indicator is a great feature.
Easy install if you read and pay attention to the directions. This was installed with a new 7 pin plug and there are different wiring configurations between utility trailers and larger rv type trailers; so pay attention to what you are reading and wire according to your project.
Product works well
Applies power to the electrical brakes if the cord is pulled
Easy to put the cord back into the switch
Used on a homemade trailer
That was made to carry bale barns
(hay feeder for horses)
Great product but wish it had better labeling and instructions for the wiring
Thankfully I haven’t had to have an operational use of this. It was a straightforward installation and is easy to check the battery status. I would order this again, if needed.
i purchased this product to replace the same unit i purchased 5 years ago. The previous unit had sundamage and the top readout was no longer readable , the cover hinged were broken. easy replacement and works great
My breakaway came very fast and at a good price. I use e trailer all the time because they have what I need and get it to me fast.
While it was an easy fix, the wire length on the battery box is pathetic. The breakaway switch had long enough wires. If you get this, just run new wiring from the circuit board like I did.
Fast shipping, pictures and items matched up to exactly what I needed. Thank You Again!
Clean and easy.
Still working great
