Review on πŸ”‹ Hopkins Engager 20099 LED Test Break Away System with Battery Meter by Chad Myers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Battery charge is everything

I have two horse trailers with breakaway devices. I connected the disconnect cables very carefully every time I moved the trailer, only to find that both batteries were dead and wouldn't work despite my careful connections. I wanted a battery with a built in charger so the battery wouldn't be too low for work. This battery is equipped with a battery indicator and will charge when connected to a 12V source (e.g. during transport). I would buy this again and have bought two of these, one for each pendant. Also, they are similar in size to the only ones and installation was easy. My old setup used a non-charging battery in the battery box, so the screw holes weren't exactly in the same place. If you are replacing an existing battery you may need to re-drill the holes but other than that the installation was quick and easy.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
