Helpful Expert Reply:
There is no need to unplug a brake controller when it's not in use and typically something like the Curt Reflex C51130 shuts off automatically after a certain time period-usually around 15 minutes. These won't drain your battery when sitting plugged in, so you'll never be left in bad spot with a dead battery because of your brake controller.
