The battery was mounted in a box inside the cabinet, with a vent hose going to a wall vent. The battery would barely hold a charge. During the process of redoing some of the wiring, I removed the battery and box. It turns out the battery had a hole in the bottom of it from rubbing on one of the screws that held the battery box to the floor. It had puked some acid out.
I replaced the battery with a Deka AGM. There's a Deka Warehouse near McChord AFB (now known as JBLM - Joint Base Lewis McChord)
I had a spare inverter/charger in my collection of stuff, so I planned to use it as a charging source in the trailer. It's the industrial version of a Heart Interface Freedom 10, known as a FleetPower 1000. It served me well in my Desert Fox toy hauler from 2003-2006.
I needed an outlet to plug the charging input into.
I tapped in to the outlet above the counter top after cutting a hole for an outlet inside the cabinet, then installed an outlet in to hole.
Outlet removed from the wall:

Hole cut:

Outlet installed:

Inverter and original battery, before I discovered the hole in it.
