Will Roadmaster RM-156-25 Battery Charge Line Kit Overcharge Batter in Towed Vehicle

Question

Question:

I am just wondering if there is a risk of overcharging the tow vehicle battery with the RM-156-25 kit. I am installing since I will have the emergency brake plugged into my Jeep 12V power, but I am wondering what ensures that the battery does not charge too much?

I've linked to an installation video that I hope you'll find helfpul.
