Question:
Will a portable braking system drain the battery on my Jeep Gladiator?

Expert Reply:
Yes, a portable braking system like the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional item # HM39524 will drain the battery on your Jeep Gladiator. That is why the portable braking system comes with a wiring harness that connects directly to your Jeep's battery to draw power and the RV recharges your battery while in use. Not every portable braking system includes this feature but the Brake Buddy Select 3 item # HM39524 does. You will want to ensure the 7-Way charge line circuit is working on your motor home or it will not charge the battery on your Gladiator.
