I didnt like that you have to make sure to leave enough wire slack to be able to open the battery door since it has the indicator lights

Great price, etrailer has always been a fast shipper. Fully assembled and ready to install.

Looks like a nice unit and definitely an improvement over my 1984 Teshonka unit that does not have a charger. Haven't installed it yet, still working on other brake parts but will add the review when in operation. Shipping was fast and price reasonable - thanks!

Just installed the trailer brake emergency battery and break-away switch. Straightforward and simple. Brake electrical system working properly. Simple install, but understand the battery box has to be mounted to something upright with wire clearance underneath. I made a couple of simple L brackets from aluminum stock leaving about 1/2" of clearance.
Comments
Working properly with no problems.

Not sure why order was pulled checked and label printed on a Thursday but was not shipped until the following Tuesday, holding the order hoping next time the customer will pay extra for faster shipping?
by: Howard03/08/2022
Very nice product I have ordered several products from etrailer very good customer service and good shipping arrives on time
by: Dustin09/22/2021
Works great, I've installed this on my larger gooseneck first and liked it so much I purchased another one for my smaller stock trailer. A lot better than standard break away batteries with aftermarket in line chargers. The installation is a breeze and finished results are very clean. Definitely will be installing on any other trailers I purchase in the future.
by: Jeff 09/18/2022
Quick to install. Good value.
by: Dan 02/08/2021
Mounts easily and works like it should, self charging is convenient.

Charger is still working and battery is in working order so you can test your brake system by pulling the pin. whats not to like!

- Troubleshooting Door of Bright Way Trailer Breakaway Kit Not Able to Fully OpenThe front cover of the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802346 is supposed to swing out like you mentioned. I attached pictures that show the door open. I'd be willing to bet the hinge on the left side of the door isn't fully seated which is causing the issue. Check to see if you can pop the hinge back onto the posts of the section of the hinge that is attached to the housing. I also attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

- Can Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802346 be Used on Outside of Trailer FrameThe Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802346 was designed to attach to the outside of a trailer frame like you asked about so it would work well for you. It is weather proof so that it would do fine as long as you didn't submerge it under water.

It is a side load so the terminals on the battery are at the top so they do not contact anything or become damaged.
view full answer... - Replacement Breakaway Kit Recommendation and How to Test Battery ChargerI think the best way to test the battery charger on your breakaway kit is to apply 12V power to the wire that connects to the 12V power wire on your trailer and then test the other wire on the module to see if there is power coming through. If power is coming through then I would guess the charger is okay but no power means it's broken. The only real way to test the charger though would be to connect it to a battery that is depleted and see if it regenerates the battery. You'll need to...
view full answer... - Replacement Breakaway Kit For a Defender 2 System on a 2021 Big Tex 60EC TrailerWhile I was unable to confirm who manufacturers the Defender 2 brake away system on your 2021 Big Tex 60EC. I do agree that the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802346 does look identical minus the decal and they have the same wiring and mounting locations.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement for Vision LED PTC-BAK-01 Breakaway KitI do have an option for you but we don't carry Vision LED so the only option we could offer is a full replacement like the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit part # 3802346 which is a very comparable system. It has a side mount installation and push to test feature. There are only a few wires that need to be connected so the swap should be very easy and straightforward although it's not a plug-in-play. That said, you won't be running new wires as they are already there, just...
view full answer... - Where Does Blue Wire Connect for Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway KitThe blue wire from the breakaway battery box for the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802346 will connect to the switch for the kit. The switch is that smaller box with the black and blue wiring that tells the breakaway kit when to send full power back to the brakes on your trailer. The rest of the wiring shown on the diagram is a generalization of what functions are normally on those color wires so you'll have to test what you have on your trailer wiring and just match...

- Recommended Trailer Breakaway Kit with 1-Amp Charger and 5 Ah BatteryThanks for the picture! I have a solution for you but you aren't going to be able replace just the box on your trailer.

This kit includes breakaway switch, 1-amp charger, 5-amp-hour battery, battery box, wiring, and wire loom. It will secure your battery from the elements.

- Breakaway Switch is Not Working After Pulling PinThere are many, many reasons why your breakaway switch may not be operating after pulling the pin, and of course it's really important to get that remedied. Start by going over your wiring to ensure there are no wires that are damaged, nicked, or broken. Also be sure that the battery is fully charged, and you have a good ground. Also check out the linked help article on breakaway switch wiring and compare yours to see if yours is wired correctly (I'm not sure if this is a new system or...
view full answer... - Solution for Trailer Breakaway Pin that is Broke and Won't Stay InstalledThe easiest solution for a breakaway pin that keeps popping out would be to replace the entire switch since they are all universal and the install is really easy. For that the # 420000 would be a great solution that will wire right in place of what you have.
view full answer... - Does the Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Come w/ a Break-Away BatteryNo, the Hydrastar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HS481-8067 does not come with a break-away battery. But, is compatible with any standard, 5-amp-hour-battery breakaway kit like the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with 1-Amp Charger and 5 Ah Battery # 3802346.
view full answer... - Availability of Weld-On Trailer Frame Mounting Plate for Bright Way Breakaway KitThe Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802346 typically requires drilling into the trailer frame in order to install it. Unfortunately, this breakaway system does not have a weld-on trailer frame mounting plate option. For a breakaway kit that does have a weld-on mounting plate, take a look at the Hopkins # 20099. This kit is the same side load design and has the push-to-test with a built in charger. It also gives you the option to lock the lid with a pad lock like the #...

view full answer... - Electric Brake and Hub/Drum Assembly Recommendations for a 3,500 lb AxleThank you for the information! For a 3,500 lb axle you need the 10" Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA which mounts using 4-bolts. Then for for the hub side of things you need the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K which has a 5 on 5" bolt pattern and uses inner bearing L68149 and outer bearing L44649. If this matches what you have then you're good to go! Please note you'll need some 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1, Butt Connectors # DW05745-10, and a breakaway...

I don't have the exact specs for your trailer (as I don't have those readily available) but from the information given I would guess that your tandem axles are both rated for 3,500 lbs so I'll let you know the parts you need for that and if you end up finding something different just let me know and I'll be happy to change those parts if necessary.

Otherwise you would just have to get a 40Amp Circuit Breaker # PK54240PL to use with the Kit # 331-CBK30-EB.

view full answer... - Parts to Convert Surge Brakes to Electric Brakes on Boat Trailer With 3,500 lb AxlesThanks so much for that info, and we can get your boat trailer set up with electric brakes. Since you had an idler hub you will need a hub and drum for electric brakes, and with the bearing numbers you gave, that means you have 3,500 lb axles. That said, here is everything you'll need to make the conversion: - Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKHD-545-35-G-K - Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand...

For a complete replacement axle that meets your specs you can use the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # 8327820-EB instead. This matches your hub face and spring center measurements as well as the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. The higher weight...
view full answer... - Changing From Hydraulic to Electric Trailer Brakes on Trailer With 2,000 lb AxleI took a look at the specs of your 1998 Jayco Eagle 12UDST, and it looks like this is a single axle trailer with a 2,000 lb axle. That means you likely have a 7" hub and drum like the Dexter Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-257-5UC3-EZ, though you will want to confirm that by measuring the inside diameter of the hub. If you do have a 7" hub and drum, as well as a 4-bolt mounting flange like # 4-34, the correct electric brakes are the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies...
