To use supplemental braking that draws power from a battery like the Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TRon a vehicle that has the battery disconnected would require you to install the outlet kit part # RM-9332 on the battery. This allows you to disconnect the battery from the vehicle but allow the battery to power the braking kit.
