TRAILER BATTERY CHARGE/
TRAILER POWER FEED
This feature allows the trailer’s battery to
charge under the following situations:
• Your vehicle is in the accessory or
engine run position.
• If the vehicle’s battery voltage is in
optimum condition, above 12.5 volts,
and the trailer’s battery can still hold a
charge, or is not too old.
The trailer power feed feature allows for
a 12 volt power output on a 7-pin connector
when your vehicle is in the accessory or
engine run position.
Note: Trailer power feed can provide a
maximum output rate of 15 amps.
Note: Never place more demand than 15
amps of power on the trailer power feed,
this may damage the trailer lighting.
