Question:
Does the Patrior 3 have a self contained battery to activate brakes in a break-away situation. Jeep Wrangler 2009 manual for flat tow states to disconnect battery, therefore no power to activate brakes if break-away occurs.

Expert Reply:
The Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional # BLU37TR does not have an internal battery so it will require you to install a 12v outlet # RM-9332 since your 2009 Jeep Wrangler requires you to disconnect the positive battery cable. This outlet will run directly to the battery offering your Patriot a dedicated power source. This is a very common installation since a lot of vehicles will cut power to the 12v outlets unless the vehicle is running.
