Does any not pull their emergency trailer brake cable?
I am now on my second trailer, and never have pulled it. I have always had a fear that the brakes would lock up. Any one else feel the same ! Guy

Brings up the question to me:
What if you are traveling with no trailer battery ?
And second question: what if you disconnect the battery and then pull it? just to make sure it will pull out easily

In my state (and others as well) travelling without a charged/functionable battery would be a violation of the law. So, travelling with no trailer battery would not be something a law abiding citizen would wilfully do. A functional brake-a-way includes a means to activate. Since it is activated by battery power, the battery must be installed, charged, etc...
Discounnecting the battery and pulling the pin will tell you very little. Sure, you would know the pin can be pulled, but it would not tell you that the switch is working. Nor would it tell you if the wiring is intact. The battery must be charged/connected when the pin is pulled to ensure that a signal is sent to the brakes, and the brakes engage.
