The Tekonsha Electric Trailer Breakaway System with Charger is a reliable safety solution designed to automatically apply trailer brakes if separation from the tow vehicle occurs. Engineered for trailers with 1 to 4 axles, this system delivers dependable emergency braking performance while maintaining battery readiness at all times.
This complete system features a sealed 12V rechargeable battery housed in a durable polymer case, along with a heavy duty multi stage DC to DC charger. The integrated charging system helps ensure the battery remains properly maintained during normal towing, reducing the risk of failure when it is needed most.
The included breakaway switch activates instantly in the event of trailer detachment, sending power directly to the electric brake system. This provides controlled braking to help bring the trailer to a safe stop, supporting compliance with towing safety requirements and improving overall road safety.
