Largest Available Breakaway Battery for Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a Bargman breakaway system with a 12V 5ah battery that is not working. There is a sticker on the tongue that says it requires a 12V 12ah battery. I cant find any systems that use a 12ah battery. Wondering what the correct battery would be?

I may have a solution for you, but the largest breakaway system battery we offer comes with a 10 amp hour battery # BRW87FR; the complete system is the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with 2-Amp Charger and 10 Ah Battery - Top Load # 3802311.

I'm not aware of a breakaway system that uses a battery that large and this would be the best solution we have available for this.
