Is the Engager Trailer BreakAway Kit with Charger and Tester part # 20099 Waterproof
Updated 07/07/2014 | Published 07/05/2014 >
Question:
Is the battery waterproof? When the trailer goes in the water the battery gets in the water. Is it ok?

Expert Reply:
The Engager Trailer BreakAway Kit with Charger and Tester part # 20099 is weather resistant but not waterproof. Which means that you would not be able to submerge the battery and box in water but it would withstand inclement weather.
Ideally your best option would be to mount the battery in a location that is up high enough that it would not get submerged while backing the trailer in the water. Or at least close enough to the coupler that it would not get submerged.
