Best Quality Trailer Breakaway Battery With Charger

Question:

Thanks Kyle. This is the one we have now and we remove the battery on long term storage. And getting concerned about the wire condition after the openings and closings. And not a fan of how short the wires are that connect to the battery. I would be willing to give another version a try. Maybe you have a #2 choice. I have ours set up where we can feed power to it to charge it via our main battery bank via toggle when it needs to he charged. We did all the work on the trailer ourselves. Gutted a new Haulmark. Thanks
