Can Pigtail Wiring be Added to Bright Way Charger BW94FR for Charging When Parked

Question

Question:

Hi I have a couple questions. Would it be a bad idea to pigtail off the positive and negative battery wires? That way I can easily charge the battery without opening the box. Would that take away from the performance of the breakaway kit with 2 open wires when not being charged? Also is there a replacement box I can purchase? One of the posts broke on the pivot point for the door and it doesn’t seal properly. Thanks for our help.

It wouldn't be a problem to run a pigtail off of the positive and negative wires of the Bright Way battery charger # BW94FR so that you can charge it when easily when not being towed. That wouldn't affect anything at all.

A replacement box is not available at this time.

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
