Testing the battery
I have installed a battery that I was concerned with. It seems to be fine. Is there a way to "test" the battery with it installed and using just the trailer's on board equipment?

Now how many dollars in gasoline and how many minutes in wasted time are you going to spend getting a battery tested WRONG at a parts store with a pimple faced adolescent flipping a toggle switch on a fixed amperage Cheese Grater load tester?
This tester will load test at a sane amperage recommended by the BCI and will test everything from a UL1 utility battery to an 8-D. Yes it will test series GC220 batteries and series L16 batteries as well.
Using a Freas hydrometer or a refractomer and this load tester the results of testing will be absolute. Beats the Magic 8-Ball fantasy all to hell.
