Will Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit Overcharge Battery
Question:
I have finished everything to tow my 2004 Jeep Wrangler. I am now reading about the charge line. I am ready to buy the RM-156-25 but I have read on different forums that I shouldnt just do a charge line I should do a battery charger. The reason being they said this kit charges but doesnt protect the Coach battery no diode or the toad battery from overcharging. Please confirm that the right choice for the Jeep is this RM-156-25. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 provides up to 15 amps of power which is perfect for maintaining the battery on your Jeep but it's not enough that you ever need to worry about it being overcharged.
The kit does feature a circuit breaker to help isolate the circuit from issues but it won't by itself prevent back-feeding. This isn't typically a concern with this kind of setup but if you wanted extra peace of mind you would just need to add a single diode like # RM-690 to prevent this from happening.
