Question:
HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY LAST IF IT ISNT BEING CHARGED
asked by: JEFF J
Helpful Expert Reply:
Battery life depends on so many factors that it is hard to quantify the life any given battery. I spoke with my contact at Hopkins and he stated that if the battery is stored outside he estimates a 3 to 6 month life span. If stored inside it will last a little longer and will most likely make it to 6 months.
If the battery is not being charged via the 7-Way trailer connector regularly then it is recommended to charge the battery every 3 months using a battery charger like # CTEK56353.
If you need a breakaway kit charger use # 20011.
