Question:
How do I charge it when I’m not using it
asked by: Stephen R
Expert Reply:
The Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR will charge off of a 12v power source in your toad vehicle.
I recommend installing the BrakeBuddy Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Kit # BB54FR to keep your vehicle's battery from draining when being flat towed.
Additionally, Blue Ox recommends charging the Patriot once every 3 months for 8 hours. If you are using the Patriot on a daily basis for a number of day you may need to charge sooner than 3 months. Also, if you have stored the Patriot for a 2 months or longer we recommend charging it before using. When you charge the Patriot you will want to make sure the Patriot is turned off so that it is able to collect the charge.
