I would remove the little break-away battery. Use a standard group 24 deep cycle battery for brakes and interior lights.
You could add an electric jack to the trailer. Charge battery off TV.
Yeah, redesign the stock safety gear ;(
Leave it alone. Add a separate battery for onboard lights if desired to use them when cargo trailer is disconnected from TV. Needing to light up a cargo trailer when disconnected from the TV is rare unless setup as a workshop, then you need power for the tools anyway. A flood flashlight works great for those rare times, love the free ones with purchase from Harbor Freight.
An electric tongue jack would change power needs but I consider that a luxury item on that size cargo trailer.
