  • Trailers have 4 stage managed battery chargers included in each trailer.  The trailer will go through a warmup / conditioning phase, full charge, cooldown, and then trickle charge. 
  • All batteries are considered maintenance items and only limited hardware manufacture warranty is included. 
  • Best practice is to regularly cycle batteries and allow them to go through normal discharge / charge cycles.
  • All trailers are sold with AGM batteries with a life expectation of 2-3 years.  Available battery upgrade options to Lipo4 are available.  Life expectation increase on LiPo4 is 5-7 years. 
  • For connecting trailers to shore power, take a standard 120VAC extension cable and attach to marine grade connector located on front of trailer battery box  *Please Note – Attaching two trailers to a single outdoor plug will trip the breaker and prevent trailer from charging.  
  • Ensure only 1 trailer is plugged into each outdoor plug location.  Trailer charger pulls nearly 15amp at full load.
