Can a Breakaway Battery be Used to Power an Electric A-Frame Trailer Jack
Question:
Can this get power from a 12v breakaway kit. Or dose it have to be a separate battery
asked by: Aaron
Expert Reply:
If your breakaway system is powered by its own battery then it is likely a 5 amp hour battery which is not high enough to power an electric trailer jack, such as # BD500199, since they can draw about 30 amps under load. The other issue is that a breakaway system needs its own dedicated battery and should not be shared by other 12 volt accessories.
If your trailer has a 7-Way trailer connector with functioning 12 volt circuit you could use electric jack # 3370093500 which plugs into a 7-Way for power.
