Toad Battery Charging
Just finished building/installing a base plate for our 2007 Wrangler. Now on to the next phase. The Wrangler owners manual recommends disconnecting the batter when towing 4 down. My SMI brake unit uses the battery for the vacuum pump so disconnecting the battery is not a good option. I located this http://www.lslproducts.com/ToadChargePage.html
on the net. Anyone have experience with this unit? What have others done to keep the toad battery charged while going down the road? Curt Sprenger 1987 PT38 8V92 "MacAttack Racing" Anaheim Hills, CA |

Toad Battery Charging
Hi Curt:
The center pin on a 7 pin set up is used to charge trailer batteries from the Coach and can be used to trickle charge your toad. Check the wiring diagram in the files, it is a good source of info.

Toad Battery Charging

Hi Curt
Haven't used any add-on towed chargers at all. The Dakota we bought calls for removing the battery cable also, but haven't done so.
I would think that unless you are going to drive for 8 or 12 hours at a time, the idea of charging the car towedbattery seems unnecessary.
Although that lsl toad charge does look sensible and practical if one sees the need.

Toad Battery Charging
I disconnect my battery because I don't want the airbags to deploy if I have too stomp on the brakes too quickly. I'm not sure they will deploy but I'm not going to risk it.
