Ever unsure if your trailer's breakaway system is fully charged before a trip? With the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit, a simple push of a button lets you know your battery's status instantly. The LED lights give you a quick visual check: green means fully charged, yellow means it's charging, and red means recharging is needed. This feature ensures that your trailer's brakes are always ready to go, providing peace of mind on the road.
If you're tired of worrying about your breakaway kit's battery being exposed to harsh weather, the durable top-load case is the perfect solution. Made from tough plastic, this box is designed to protect against moisture and other environmental factors, thanks to its rugged rubber O-ring seal. Installed on the trailer frame, this compact design is both space-efficient and provides easy access from above, keeping the 12-Volt, sealed lead-acid battery safe and dry.
Navigating unpredictable trailer detachment scenarios can be daunting, but this breakaway kit steps in to safely activate your trailer's electric brakes when needed. Once the cable detaches from the switch, it sends a signal to engage the brakes, bringing your trailer to a prompt halt. This built-in security feature works effectively on both single-axle and tandem-axle trailers equipped with electric braking systems, ensuring you're always prepared for any on-road eventuality.
Keeping your trailer's battery charged shouldn't be an added chore and with this built-in 1-Amp automatic charger, it won’t be. It conveniently charges the battery while connected to your vehicle, ensuring your battery is always ready without needing a separate charging setup. Whether heading out for a day trip or after a long haul, this reliable feature keeps your system ready and your worries at bay.
Simplify your setup process with the kit's integrated wire loom that neatly bundles and protects wires. Additionally, a clear wiring diagram is printed on the box itself, making DIY installations straightforward and easy. No more messy wiring or confusion—this setup keeps everything secure and organized, ensuring a neat and user-friendly installation.
A breakaway system is required by law in most states for trailers that are equipped with electric brakes and have a GTW of at least 3,000 lbs.

Just got it 5 minutes ago.
Quick shipping and great service as usu al...Thanks!!!
Excellent quality same as the original box on my Aluma trailer. The agents were very helpful in making sure I did receive the right box.
Yes I like it and thanks very much. I liek every thing I get from u guys but the latter rack I got for my truck
Lightning fast processing and delivery!! Next day, even with the free shipping because of the size of the order!
It will take me a few days to get this installed, but the kit looks complete and well thought out.
Initially the product was going to take a while to arrive and I immediately got an email from etrailer to that effect and to see if there was an alternative I would prefer that was in stock. I went with the original order and decided to wait. The wait turned out to be much shorter than I expected and it arrived within a couple of weeks. Great customer service and follow up.
Sorry about the delay, the truck was stuck in the fire evacuation zone. Everything is OK now. The breakaway switch worked fine. Even installed it in the same mounting hole as the broken one. The battery box also works fine, although the trailer didn't have the 12v wire connected. After fixing that it shows when the trailer is connected and tests the battery well. The only misleading indication is the charging light is lit, even if the truck battery has a lower voltage than the trailer battery. Not a problem.
The only disappointment - original est arrival was on a Friday before deep freeze temps hit my area only to be revised to Tuesday in the middle of single digit temps. No biggie for some but uncomfortable for Virginia folks. Kit arrived complete with the battery fully charged. Once the daytime highs shot above 40 deg, it took about 30 minutes to remove the old Breakaway kit and install the new. Original mounting holes from the factory Aluma kit matched the Bright Way battery box perfectly. Tandem brakes on 16' trailer are good to go.
This breakaway kit is effective and does exactly what I need it to do. Happy with the results one year out.
Excellent choice in backup brake battery kits for trailers. Easy to install and works!
The battery was fully charged when it arrived and still fully charged a couple of months later when I finally got around to installing it. Works as expected. The lanyard for the breakaway switch is pretty long (50",) so I installed it as far back as I could on the trailer frame.
All the products are what was described and at a reasonable cost. Arrived in the time that was expected. Would recommend them.
Order arrived earlier than expected - Customer service was great on the phone and product selection was very good - videos were also informative and help in my selection
I retrofitted my utility trailer with this kit and it worked perfectly easy installation!
I suggest if you’re in the trailer industry and have a business don’t buy from this company, they have a date that it’s supposed to come and it’s a joke, I ordered it on Saturday 22nd and was supposed to be here on the 25th which it tomorrow. It’s still in Utah. So if you run a trailer business and need parts asap you’re better off buying from AMAZON OR YOUR LOCAL TRAILER STORE. Again DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY THEYRE FULL OF IT. This is disappointing especially when you rely on them, and they let you down. Don’t do it, again don’t do it. The only way I’ll take my review down is if I receive it by tomorrow the 25th.
Nice replacement for my trailer. Easy to install. Nice wiring diagram on top of unit.
I wired it up to recharge off of the house battery in the trailer, I put the wiring in the old battery box. Now it's easy test, easy re-charge. It took a while to get it but well worth the wait.
excellent product and just what i needed to match my other trailers
Well made. Installed easily.

Computer software and breakaway kits alike, those two qualities are fundamental :) What kind of set up do you have this installed on?
I was pleased that I recieved all the items as stated in the information. It fit on the trailer and all the holes lined up so I did not need to redrill anything. I used a solder heat shrink tubing to make my connections.
Worked OK. No charger built in though.
Great products

Great. I have not needed the breakaway controller. I have noticed the battery holds a charge for a long time, so even though I don’t use the tailer for months at a time, it stays charged and gets topped off when I use the trailer.
