Industrial 74500 Battery Breakaway Kit 12-24VDC

Industrial 74500 Battery Breakaway Kit 12-24VDC is a Reese-branded trailer safety system designed to automatically apply the trailer’s electric brakes if the connection between tow vehicle and trailer is broken. It is designed for 12- and 24-volt electrical systems, making it suitable for trailers with electric brakes across common configurations and axle counts. The kit is built around a heavy-duty polymer case that protects the battery and charger, and it includes an integrated multi-stage charger capable of recharging up to 12.8V, helping ensure the system is ready after a breakaway event. With weather and corrosion resistance, the components are designed for outdoor installation and long-term field use, even in challenging environments. When deployed, the breakaway mechanism triggers the trailer brakes to activate upon separation, reducing the risk of a runaway trailer and mitigating potential damage or injury. This combination of rugged enclosure, dual-voltage compatibility, and automatic braking response addresses the core safety needs of towing setups that rely on electric brake systems.
