Way to Keep Trailer Breakaway Battery Topped Off When in Storage
Question:
How can I check that the Brakes are getting power from tow vehicle. I have alot of Disaster trailers and would like to know if safe using them until new batterries are installed. I dont have a way to charge them after each use. How often should I charge them. It will not be chargers that can be left on overnight due to where they are parked. Sorry no photos.

It sounds like you are asking about how to test the breakaway batteries on your trailer. I attached a help article that covers how to do exactly this on this page. The battery will get a low maintenance charge anytime it's connected to your tow vehicle but if you wanted a way to keep the batteries topped off when parked without having to think about it you could use a solar charger like the part # BRW54FR.
