Are The Batteries That Come With the Titan Disc Brake Kit and BrakeRite Actuator Really Needed
Question:
Since I am putting this into my travel trailer that already has a 12 volt battery set up, actually dual 6 volt do I still need the batteries that come in this kit? Can it be ordered without them?

The Titan Disc Brake Kit and BrakeRite Electric-Hydraulic Actuator part # T4843800 comes with two breakaway batteries which are just small batteries responsible for applying the brakes on the trailer in the event it becomes detached from the tow vehicle and are required by law in most states. Therefore, yes you do need to install the breakaway batteries that come with the kit.
Please note, the 6 volt batteries you have on the trailer serve an entirely different purpose and cannot be used for the breakaway function.
