I installed this in my towed vehicle to keep the battery charged and intentionally let the battery go low to verify it works. I monitored it was charging at about 10amps so it must have a charge current limiter as well as a reverse current flow diode to prevent the towed vehicle battery from discharging backward to the tow vehicle. It is also surprisingly small, about the size of two packs of gum so it can be mounted about anywhere. I would like to know exactly what is inside this as it has a 20A fuse but does not appear to charge at that current. The manufacturer should post the current limit so if someone had a vehicle that used more than 15A (guessing) of current while being towed that they would know if this device would provide enough to keep the battery charged.

This product works, I mean it seems to. I have been towing my tow vehicle for over 7 months behind my Motorhome sometimes 5-7 hour drives and it starts up every-time with no problems.
When I tow my vehicle I have to leave the key in the first position so it’s on the entire time and the electronic brake assist is also plugged in using power. So I know this product is trickle charging my tow behind when I’m on the road, there’s no way I would have a dead battery everytime I move if it wasn’t.
I just happen to stumble on this product and bought it cause I thought it was a good way to keep the battery maintained on the road and I’m glad I did because it does just that really well.
I installed it into my 6 pin auxiliary port that I have on the front bumper of my tow behind and then hooked it up to the battery as instructed to. Super easy, small so you can tuck it out of the way. I don’t know why anybody would tow a vehicle without this.

Worked great and easy to hook up

Have had this product for a couple of seasons on my motorhome now. I was about to really slam it after the first half of my last trip – since my tow battery was still dying. HOWEVER….
After using a bungee to hold my wire harness in place on the motorhome – I did not have any further problems with my tow vehicle. It started up every time after that with seemingly no loss of power. Went over 4 hours in one segment and still no issue (had been less than two previously).
So – I am right now optimistic that I solved my issue with why it was not working consistently (unrelated to the product), and will hopefully have a charged battery at all times going forward.
Pros:
Seems to be working now (not an issue with the product)
Battery stays charged (Yay!!)
Relatively easy to install (had to do some wiring – but not too bad if you do your homework and have done some minor wiring previously).
Self contained and no additional parts needed
Cons:
Hmmmm…..
I would suggest you use a meter and confirm it is working before relying on it. If not, recheck your wiring. I found that some of the information on the web about the tow wiring harness was not always accurate…and there were variations that were not well/widely known. So do your homework and then check to make sure it is getting and giving the power needed before calling it a day.

I’ve been using mine for 6 months now and it works great! I read several posts that claim it doesn’t work, so they either got a dud, or they aren’t following the proper procedure in their car manual and pulling the right fuses. My manual recommended pulling the BCM (body control module) fuse so I decided to run a test. On my first day, I pulled the fuse and towed for 6 hours and when I stopped for the night I checked my battery and it was right at 13 volts and all was fine. On my second day, I put the fuse back in and decided to check it after about 3 hours. My battery was down to 10.6 volts and this little charger was hot so I again pulled the fuse. After about 3 more hours of towing, the battery was back up to 12.6 volts and the maintainer was cool again. I also tested the output of this little charger and it puts out just about 2 amps when the battery is low. I don’t know if it trickles down any farther when the battery is fully charged as I didn’t bother to test that, but I do know my battery is never over 13 volts at the end of the day so it must? Bottom line, check your manual or go to your local dealership and find out which fuses to pull from your vehicle and this little guy will work great! HAPPY TOWING!

Whenever we traveled for a long time towing our Subaru we’d get a warning that our Easy Brake’s power was low and shortly after would turn off, or after arriving at our day’s destination would find the battery was too low to start requiring jumping to move the car. Asked the manufacturer of the Easy Brake (my controller) how to resolve this and they suggested a number of things that either weren’t practical or were too complex to bother with. They didn’t suggest this product but since it’s made by a competitor they may not have known of it (and one of their suggestions actually did wind up doing just what this product was after construction (but wouldn’t have been as small and neatly constructed, so buying this was better and far easier). Discovered this device, while browsing the internet. Low cost and quality construction. Installed it per the straight-forward instructions and our battery problems are over. Installation was easy for me (have some experience with wiring and electronics) and should be for most dyi types; otherwise have it installed–shouldn’t cost much for that. Bottom line: attach connector when starting trip and remove it when at destination. Battery charges as long as towing vehicle is running.
