Question:

Expert Reply:
You have a couple of options for charging your dump trailer batteries during the day when you're out and about:
If you want to be green you can use a portable solar panel to charge your batteries. The Go Power DuraLite Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 100 Watt Item # GP66FR is lightweight and can easily be moved around and set up to charge your batteries.
You can also use the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Single Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 12 Amp
Item # RED96FR. Cables, fuses (# RED76FR and # RED86FR), and connectors sold separately. This battery charger will fully charge your trailer's battery but will also shut off when your vehicle isn't running to ensure it doesn't drain the battery.
