Just purchased an enclosed car trailer and need a battery and charger recommendation.
Trailer has in it now a interstate 24hd that is over 4 years old. It barley worked the electric tongue jack so I pulled it out for charging. 2 of the cells had very low water, I filled and it is on my home charger now. I don't have great confidence it will come back to life because I think it has been abused.
The trailer has no method of charging while on shore power, so it has only been charged when hooked to a vehicle, probably never been decently charged in its life.
So questions are;
Should I get a flooded marine style battery or an agm style battery?
Can someone recommend a charger I can hard wire into the trailer to charge the battery?
The box the battery fits in was pretty snug for the 24hd so any recommendations would need to be similar dimensions. Load includes radio, winch, 4 florescent style lights, outside flood lights and anything I plug in
Thanks
