It's not a requirement to use a battery charge line kit like the part # RM-156-25 on your 2018 Chevy Equinox but it would do a great job keeping the battery topped off while being flat towed. And if you are using a supplemental braking system like the # BLU37TR that draws power from the Equinox battery when towing this would do prevent it from killing the battery totally.
We had the chance to install this kit on a 2018 Equinox just yours and we shot an install video which I have linked on this page.
