Breakaway Battery Recommendation for Triple Axle Trailer
Question:
I have a trailer with 3 axles. Can I use #20400 - Engager Trailer Breakaway Kit? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
I have a couple of breakaway battery kit options for you, but the Hopkins Engager Trailer BreakAway Kit # 20400 is not compatible with your triple axle trailer. The # 20400 is only designed for use with single and tandem axle trailers.
For your triple axle trailer, you will want to use a breakaway battery that is designed to work with triple axle trailers. I recommend using the Tekonsha Push to Test Breakaway Kit with Premium Integrated Charger # 50-85-313 because it has the same great charging and testing features as the breakaway kit you referenced, but is designed to work with up to 3 axles. Tekonsha makes high-quality products and this breakaway battery kit has positive reviews from our customers.
I've attached a review and an installation video of the # 50-85-313 Breakaway Kit for you.
