If you pulled the pin on a breakaway kit, like the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 20099, you should be able to just insert the pin back into place and your breakaway battery will stop applying the brakes on your trailer.

If you don't already have a breakaway battery kit that has a recharging battery that stores power when connected to your tow vehicle then you can use the Hopkins kit that I mentioned above.
