What Circuit Should Tekonsha Battery Charger 2024-07 Connect To
Question:
Does this unit have to go to be run to my car battery? Or can it just run off of the tail light power?

The taillight circuit of your vehicle trailer wiring would not have enough amperage available to charge a battery with the Tekonsha Two Stage 12 V DC Battery Charger # 2024-07. It needs to be run to the 12 volt accessory circuit of your trailer wiring. If you only had a 4-way installed on your vehicle you'd need to convert it to a 7-way with the # ETBC7L to accomplish. This comes with an easy to install 7-way adapter and all of the wiring needed to activate the 12 volt accessory circuit.
