The only thing you would have to worry about if the breakaway pin of your trailer was pulled and the battery died is the battery. The trailer brakes and everything else are going to be totally fine. Just recharge the battery with a charger like the CTEK # CTEK56865 which was designed for smaller batteries like this and you'd be set.
