I wouldn't even think of buying a new trailer that did not include the battery or batteries. Add to the list propane tanks, fresh water, sewer hoses and stabilizers. Spare tire....you will need this at some point. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined, I'd look at some used trailers as well. Let someone else take the immediate 30% hit on the depreciation. If you can't make some repairs on your own, buy new.
It's probably not legal for a dealer to sell a trailer without a battery since most states have laws mandating that anything the size of a TT requires brakes and AFAIK no currently produced TT includes surge brakes.
