Be sure to check out the DOT rules and requirements for having a working BATTERY on-board if you tow your trailer down public roads..
If your trailer is equipped with electric brakes then DOT requires you to have a working battery system on-board in the event the trailer becomes disconnected going down the road to automatically apply DC power to your electric brakes to stop your run-away trailer. Not only this being required by DOT it could be an insurance coverage issue for you as well.
