You need to get new battery. Trailer brakeaway emergency brakes depend on it as well as other stuff.
it's pretty expensive. i'd buy them soon or later though.
Are you TOWING the trailer on public roads without a battery?
I hope not.
No working battery means your emergency break away system will not function..
Every state requires a functioning break away system if your trailer is equipped with electric brakes..
If you can afford to buy a "jump start" unit, you CAN afford to at least buy a group 24 battery or heck even a lawn and garden tractor battery.. On utility trailers the break away systems use a $20 5 Ahr or a bit larger gel cell..
Fines will be far more costly than a new battery and other motorists lives are at risk..
