Can Performance Tool Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997 Overcharge Breakaway Battery

Question:

Can this charger be used to maintain the brake battery between trailer uses without overcharging? Is a controller required with the small battery?

I spoke with my contact at Performance Tool regarding the Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997 and he said that this unit does actually have a built-in control that will shut the charger down once the battery is completely charged. He said there is no risk of overcharging when it's left hooked up for a longer period of time such as when the trailer is in storage.

He did say that this is a really great solution for maintaining the charge on a smaller breakaway battery. I have attached a short video demonstration on this kit that you can check out as well.
