Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this Curt Push-to-Test top load trailer breakaway kit, with the built in battery charger. Now this breakaway system will activate your trailer's electric brakes if your trailer disconnects from the tow vehicle. And a breakaway system is a required by law in most States for trailers that are equipped with electric brakes and have a gross towing weight of at least 3000 pounds.Now, if you look close on the top here, it has this push to test battery case, which offer fast and easy battery testing. You can see this green test button right here.
If you push it now, you can see that top green light comes on, what that's telling you is it's battery is charged. The led lights will indicate the status of the battery. If you pushed it and it showed orange, that means it'd be charging. Or if you pushed it and showed red that's mean a low battery.Now, they do use a 12 volt gel cell battery, it is included. The built in charger will automatically refuel the battery.
It fully charges the battery without overcharging it. And a trickle charge will maintain a voltage while you tow. The top loading case is easy to access from above has a nice weather resistant polyethylene construction protects the battery and the charger from moisture and debris. And you can see when you install this, here's your mounting holes here has six holes and it comes with the six self tapping screws for simple mounting on your trailer's frame. The other nice thing is if you look at the top of the lid, it does show you the wiring configuration on the top of the lid.Now the breakaway switch is included.
This installs onto your trailer's frame. It does require drilling to install this onto your frame. This part is DOT, Department of Transportation compliant. It does come with a nice set of installation instructions on how to install it. A few specs on this, the application is for one to three axle trailers with electric brakes, battery capacity is five amp hours.
And the last thing I want to do is just give you the measurement of the battery box right here. So the overall width, which will be the widest point is the back here where the mounting brackets are. So the width on it is going to be right at six and a half inches. Overall height on it, it's right at five inches tall. And the depth on it from the very front here to the very back here, that's going to be right at four and three quarter inches deep. But that should do it for the review on this Curt, Push-to-Test top load trailer breakaway kit, with the built in battery charger.

I buy from etrailer quite a bit. They always deliver fast, the products are awesome and priced fairly. Just installed the Curt breakaway system. It works great. Thanks etrailer! 515207
Product looks well made and installed with just one hitch. If you follow instructions and try to connect the 2 wires, one from the breakaway switch and one from the push to test panel using the supplied connector to the positive post of the battery, you can't close the lid of the battery box properly . It hits the electronics on the inside of the lid. You need to do your own splice ( 2 wires into 1 onto the + post . Not a big deal, but certainly a slight screw up by the manufacture. 512342
