Patriot brake
I was wondering if you need a battery charge line when using the Blue Ox Patriot brake?

I inherited a Patriot with my rig. I kept getting battery low errors from the unit, and couldn't get it to charge up overnight by plugging it it in overnight. I figured the Patriot battery was bad, so replaced it. The same problem continued.
Next I hooked the hot lead on the RV tow plug to the toad battery. I also bought a small $6 float charger at Harbor Freight. I now use the float charger on the Patriot the night before we travel and don't have any issues at all. I don't want to change my process to see if I could drop the float charging, as I don't want it to find out I should have.
