Could Trailer Breakaway Battery Power RV Powered Jack

Question

Question:

Hello could this power a power tongue jack if wired inline with the battery? I have a utility trailer that does not have a dedicated battery but does have one of these smaller trailer brake batteries. If I replaced it with this bigger unit would the batter be big enough to power the tongue jack?

If the jack drew less than 10 amps the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit with 2-Amp Charger and 10 Ah Battery # 3802311 would work decently but typically they draw more than that.

A better option would be a deep cycle battery like the part # BRW34FR which is rated for 75 amps. Then for a battery box the # 329-HM300BKS would work great.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
