How To Prevent Battery Drain When Flat Towing A 2005 Jeep TJ
Question:
Will having the key on drain the battery after hours of towing? Or should I disconnect the battery?
asked by: Paul H
Expert Reply:
Your 2005 Jeep TJ doesn't need to have the battery disconnected when towing but leaving the key in ACC position will put a very small drain on the battery. To resolve this issue you can install the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles Item # RM-156-25. This charge line kit will provide 15 amps to your vehicle's battery by connecting to the 6-way or 7-way port on your vehicle.
Note: Requires Roadmaster's motor home battery line # RM-156-75 (sold separately) if no charge line is present in your RV.
