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.

I would want to understand why they want
the battery disconnected. For most vehicles disconnecting the battery is required
because you have to leave the ignition on when towing four down to the unlock
the steering. With all the electronics in modern vehicles this will drain the
battery in 5-6 hours. Most connectors have power on pin #7 to charge the
battery in a towed vehicle.

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?
