Expert Reply:
We carry a Trailer Breakaway Kit Battery Charger that would be perfect for you, the part # is 20011.
The black wire connects to the 12-volt power from the trailer connector, the red wire connects to the positive battery terminal on the breakaway battery, and the blue wire connects to the breakaway switch. This would be the easiest, most economical way of providing battery chargers for the breakaway systems on your various trailers.
You will want to make sure that the batteries are still in good shape. If you need replacements, we offer them as part # HM20008.
