All trailers are powered by Solar Assistance and will have different run times based on trailer model, time of year, and area of the country being deployed to. A run time estimate can be provided upon request for each trailer type based off geographical zip code.
Sample Run time calculations are shown below:
*For all AGM use 70% discharge number. For all LiPo4 use 90% discharge number*

Trailers have 4 stage managed battery chargers included in each trailer. The trailer will go through a warmup/conditioning phase, full charge, cooldown, and then trickle charge.
All batteries are considered maintenance items and only a limited hardware manufacture warranty is included.
A best practice is to regularly cycle batteries and allow them to go through a discharge/charge cycle.
All trailers sold with AGM batteries have a life expectancy of 2-3 years based on average usage. It is possible to upgrade to Lipo4 batteries. The life expectation increase on LiPo4 to 5-7 years with average use and battery maintenance.
For connecting trailers to shore power, use a standard 120VAC extension cable and attach to marine grade connector located on front of trailer battery box
Ensure only 1 trailer is plugged into each outdoor plug location. Trailer charger pulls nearly 15amp at full load.
Please Note – Attaching two trailers to a single outdoor plug will trip the breaker and prevent trailer from charging. Do not use power strips or lightweight extension cords and check the system periodically to ensure it is properly charging.
