Adding a Solar Panel to Charge a Trailer Breakaway Battery
Updated 05/08/2020 | Published 04/28/2020
Question:
Do you sell a solar charged breakaway battery system for infrequently used trailers?
asked by: Neil H
Expert Reply:
Part # PTW2997 works great for charging your breakaway battery when the trailer is not in use. This product is easy to hook up and fairly inexpensive compared to the price of a new battery. I strongly recommend this product.
We do not carry any breakaway kits that include a solar panel but adding this unit will keep your battery charged on the trailer while it is being stored. When you are going to tow, you can unhook the unit from the battery and it will be good to go while towing.

I would want to wire this in permanently so I don't have to open the battery box and risk it getting wet.
