A battery not holding the correct charge would not cause tail lights to flash. If you are experiencing hyperflashing on your trailer tail lights, you most likely have LED lights that are not pulling enough power from the vehicle. To remedy this I recommend using an adapter like the Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass - 7-Way RV to 7-Way RV - Vehicle End # 20142. This will draw power like an incandescent bulb to prevent the LED hyperflashing issue.
If the lights are flashing at the same time, you may have a short or a ground issue.
