What Makes the Bright Way 12V, 5-Amp-Hour Switch Mode Charger Good for Hydraulic Lift Trailers

Question:

Hi, I want to get a battery charger/maintainer for my 2005 CAM Superline 2.5 dump trailer. It seems that every time I go to use it the battery is dead. I want to keep the trailer plugged in so that the battery is charged and ready to go when I want/need it. My question is how is the Bright Way 12V, 5-Amp-Hour Switch Mode Charger for Hydraulic Lift Trailers Item # BRW77F different from a regular trickle charger? Also, what would the better option be for the intended use, this charger or something different? My truck is fully wired to charge the battery while Im using the trailer the issue is keeping the battery charged when the trailer is not in use. Thanks,

The functionality of the Bright Way 12V, 5-Amp-Hour Switch Mode Charger part # BRW77FR is not much different than a standard AC to DC charger. The benefit of the above and what makes it more geared towards hydraulic lift trailers is the integration of the battery charger inside the battery box meaning you don't have to keep the battery box lid open while charging the batteries and running cables out. The charger also has a cutout off to prevent overcharging as well as push to test LEDs.
