• Solution for Charging Breakaway and Trailer Battery With Bright Way Solar Battery Charger
  In order to charge both your breakaway battery and the trailer battery you will need 2 of the # BRW54FR. These batteries cannot be wired together since they will have different amp hour ratings. This means it is not possible to use the single panel to charge them both at the same time. If you want to stick with a single panel you would have to unhook it from one battery and attach it to the other as needed.

• Can The Bright Way Solar Battery Charger # BRW54FR Be Used In The Rain
  Yes, The Bright Way Solar Battery Charger # BRW54FR will work when it is raining.

• Does 7.5 Watt Bright Way Solar Battery Charger Need to Be Disconnected When Hooked to Tow Vehicle
  Great question! You will be fine leaving the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger # BRW54FR connected to your trailer battery bank while connected to your tow vehicle. Neither source should provide enough power to overcharge your bank. The only time I would worry about disconnecting the solar panel kit is if you're going to be driving around a lot on any given day or if you'll be going on a road trip. In theory you should still be okay to leave it connected but I always like to stay on the...

• Can BRW77FR Be Wired To The Battery In Conjunction With A Solar Charger
  The problem to watch out for, is not the voltage, it's the current (cfm). If your battery recommends 30a max charge current and both of your chargers are rated at 15a, you're good to use them both at the same time. If your chargers are both 30a units, then you could damage your battery. Since both the Solar # BRW54FR and wall charger # BRW77FR are 7.5 Watts I don't see there being an issue. The wall charger has a cut off when the batter is fully charged and the solar will maintain the the...

• Best Solar Panel for Keeping Breakaway Battery Charged
  I have a solution for you but you won't be able to get enough power off of the center pin. That's the reverse circuit and it has the least amount of voltage. You won't be able to charge both your break away system and your marine battery off of the accessory circuit either. I recommend using the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger - 7.5 Watt Solar Panel item # BRW54FR to keep your breakaway battery charged and then using the accessory circuit to charge your marine battery. I have linked a...

• How Do I Keep My Trailers Break Away Battery Charged When In Storage?
  For maintaining your trailer battery I recommend using a Duracell Battery Charger and Maintainer # DU87FR. This will plug into a standard wall outlet and charge/maintain your battery to help extend the battery life. If you park your trailer where you do not have easy access to power the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger # BRW54FR can be used to charge the battery. This can be mounted to part of the trailer and is also easily removable with the 2 prong in line plug. If you store your...

• I Need a Battery To Operate The Jacks On My Slide In Truck Camper
  I recommend a Bright Way Deep Cycle RV Battery # BRW34FR. This AGM battery is sealed and does not require the maintenance of a traditional lead acid battery. When not in use it is important to provide a battery charge maintainer to ensure the battery voltage does not drop to low. A Bright Way Solar Battery Charger # BRW54FR will provide up to 7.5 watts of charge from the sun. A Snap-Top Battery Box with Strap # 329-HM300BKS will protect the battery from the elements as well as provide...

• Recommended Way to Charge my Trailer's Breakaway Battery
  Both the CTEK US 0.8 Universal Battery Charger with Pulse Maintenance part # CTEK56865 and the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger and Maintainer part # BRW54FR would work well for this application. I prefer the solar option as it wouldn't require shore power. As an alternative I would instead use just the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger part # 20400. Since you're already going to be installing a breakaway kit why not one with a built in...

• Can Solar Panel be Used to Charge Breakaway Battery
  Sure, if you don't want to use a breakaway battery system with a built-in charger like the Hopkins Engager # 20099, you can use a solar panel. What you can use for a smaller breakaway battery is the 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997. However, this has alligator clamps so it will be a bit more cumbersome to utilize; if your breakaway battery is a 12-volt battery with at least 5 amp-hours a better option due to its ring terminals is the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger - 7.5 Watt...

• Is There Trailer Breakaway Kit With Solar Charger
  You can add a solar charger separately to a trailer breakaway kit, but there isn't a kit with an included solar charger. So there are a couple of options for you to add a charger to the Tekonsha Shur-Set III Trailer Breakaway Kit - Side Load # 20005. What you can do is add either the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger # BRW54FR or 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997.

• Does Battery Have to be Removed From Camper when Stored for Winter
  Removing the battery is a great way to get the battery out of a colder climate which can help prevent it from depleting but another option that would allow you to keep the battery in the camper is a solar charger like the Bright Way Solar Charger part # BRW54FR which would give the battery a maintenance charge every day to keep it topped off and ready to use next year. The panel would mount on the exterior of the camper and then with the included wire you'd run it to your battery.

• Does Red Indicator Light Blink When Bright Way Solar Battery Charger is Charging
  It looks like the red LED on the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger - 7.5 Watt Solar Panel # BRW54FR is actively blinking when it's charging the battery so if it's still on then that would indicate it's sending a charge. It's worth noting that this setup is a trickle charger which basically means it's designed to keep your battery topped off during storage. If you're wanting something that has a bit more power as well as a way to monitor and adjust the charge power I recommend checking out...

• Portable Solar Panel Charger for Charging RV Batteries During Day
  That amount of amperage/wattage that the two charger kits you mentioned are capable of really wouldn't be adequate to charge a depleted battery. Especially in a day as they are more designed to keep a battery topped off in storage more than anything. These both can put out up to 7.5 watts. You'd want something with more output than that like the Goal Zero Boulder Briefcase Kit part # 287-32408 which is rated for 100 watts.

• Can A Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Be Powered By A 110v AC Outlet
  The Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter - GFCI - 2,000 Watt - 12V # 34278156 runs off of battery (DC) power and not shore power (AC). The inverter converts DC voltage to AC voltage so you wouldn't want to or be able to power it with AC voltage. If you're just wanting to maintain the battery while in storage we have a variety of solar panel options like the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger # BRW54FR which can help maintain your motorhome's battery while in storage.

• Winch Boat Hoist and Charging Recommendations For Marine Applications
  I recommend using a winch with a synthetic rope. Since you'll be by the water when using this winch, it won't rust over time. This winch # BDW15018 has 3,400 lbs of capacity so it should be plenty for what you need. I use a Optima Marine battery for any application needing a 12V battery. These are the best in my experience. Since this winch has a 12V motor, I recommend using an optima marine 12V. Since you're boating, I presume that it will be at least overcast out and not storming, if...

• Shore Power Battery Charging For Brake System & Accessories
  You'll need to run the wires from the charger directly to your battery # HM20008. If it were my trailer, I would get a charger like this # BRW54FR because it's FREE energy!! This one is a trickle charger putting out about 7.5 watts which is good for any battery with 5 amp hours or more. It can go on the side of the trailer where your battery is so the wiring won't go from one end of the trailer to the next. It's also pretty low profile so it's not an eye sore. That being said, you should...
