Expert Reply:
In order to keep the battery on a breakaway system charged while in storage you have two options. The best option for you is going to be based on what resources you have available. If the trailer is stored outdoor then you can use the 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger part # PTW2997. If you don't have access to power and the trailer is stored indoor then you will want to remove the battery from the trailer and then take this home with you so it can be hooked up to a battery charger where power is available.
