TRAIL CHARGER WITH EXTENDER
PROBLEM
On applications where liftgate batteries are mounted a long distance from the primary vehicle’s electrical system, voltage drop will occur. The longer the distance and the smaller the cables that connect the two battery systems, the greater the voltage drop. To charge these liftgate batteries, the correct voltage must be applied to these batteries. Without the necessary voltage (electrical pressure) to push current through the liftgate batteries for recharging, no recharging can occur. To charge a group 31 flooded cell battery at 0 degrees F, voltages of 15 volts are necessary. The same battery pack at 80 degrees F might only require 14.0 volts. The heavy duty commercial vehicle alternator is normally set at 14.0 volts and flat compensated. The typical vehicle’s battery pack is maintained at approximately 13.5 volts. The difference occurs because of the voltage drop between the battery and the alternator.
With this fact in mind, the starting voltage for the liftgate batteries is 13.5 volts.
The circuit to charge the liftgate batteries includes the cables from the vehicle's battery box to the dual pole receptacle at the back of the tractor, the dual pole cable from the tractor to the trailer, the receptacle at the front of the trailer, and the cable that connects to the liftgate batteries. The total length of this can be well over 60 feet. All of this length and connections (including fuses) create voltage drop in the system. While the total circuit resistance of this circuit is constant, as the current load increases, the voltage drop also increases. It is impossible to have the correct level of voltage at the liftgate batteries. This reduced voltage results in a battery pack that is not maintained t t f h hi h lt i h t d b tt lif l ti ti d ibl d t th liftgate motor.
SOLUTION
TRAIL CHARGER – Eliminates the above problem by amplifying (boosting) any input voltage (9 to 14) to the correct charged and maintained at a higher state of charge so that they provide the energy necessary to do whatever job they are designed for, even in the toughest environments. The Trail Charger also will not let the liftgate batteries back feed to the tractor’s battery pack.
The EXTENDER allows for the Trail Charger to continue to operate after the tractor is turned off for up to 30 minutes.
It runs for the first five minutes and then shuts down for five seconds. It then measures the tractor batteries voltage with no load. If the tractor batteries are still over 12.2 volts, the Extender turns the Trail Charger back on for another five minutes and then starts the cycle over again. This allows for more charging time of the liftgate batteries without impacting the ability to start the tractor.

Step 13: At the front of the trailer, locate and mark where the dual pole nose box will be mounted. Consult the trailer manufacturer for step must be done to ensure that the wiring harness is not cut too short in the following steps. (See Figure 13)
Figure 13
Step 14: Route the main power harness from inside the battery box to the front of the trailer. Utilize the factory channels up to the fifth wheel plate and then way to the front of the trailer to the dual pole receptacle. Once the harness is routed, and it has been determined that there is enough cable, cut the harness to length. Be sure to leave enough to be able to strip the outer jacket off and have enough wire to make all the electrical connections. Make sure to secure the harness with wire‐ties. (See Figure
14)
Step 15: Install the ¼” cable end to the black ground wire by stripping about ¼” of the insulation off of the wire. Next slide the piece of black heat shrink on the wire, then crimp and solder the ¼” eyelet onto the end of the wire.
Slide the heat shrink over the connection and apply heat. Connect the ground wire to the negative side of the dual pole receptacle and tighten the bolt securely. (See Figure 15)

4. Remove the harness plug from the Trail Charger. (See Figure 1) Check the voltage reading at the input pin (E1) and the liftgate battery negative (H). This should be the same as the source voltage. (i.e. battery source at front of trailer, positive (A), negative (J))
Source Voltage:________ (E1) Pin Voltage:__________
If the source voltage and the voltage at (E1) are not the same, check for the following:
A. Check the fuse (B) below the nose box. If the fuse is blown, repair the circuit and replace the fuse. Recheck the voltage between (E1) and (H) as in step 4. This should be the same as the battery voltage. If yes, skip to step 5. If no, continue to step B.
B. Check Voltage between (C) and (H). This should be the same as the battery voltage. If yes, continue to step
C. If no, repair the wire between the red insulated stud (C) and the fuse (B) and continue to step C.

5. Verify that the voltage reading between the insulated junction stud (C) and the liftgate battery negative (H) is greater than 13.3 volts (engine must be running) before continuing to the next step.
A. The red light on the module should be on. If yes, continue to step B. If no, verify that the red wire between the module (D) and the insulated junction stud (C) is not damaged, broken, or pinched. Also verify that the black wire between the Extender module (D) and the liftgate battery negative (H) is not damaged, broken, or pinched. If there are no damaged wires, replace the module and then start over at the beginning of step 5.
B With the harness plug removed check the voltage reading between the ignition pin (E4) and battery ground (H). This should read within one volt of the battery voltage between (C) and (H). If yes, module is operating and green and red LED lights should be on. If the LED lights are not on and there is no voltage at (4) and (H), remove the red lead from the module that attached to the battery positive (G) and then reattach. Both LED lights should turn on for one second and then turn off. This means the module has power. Ensure the red and black leads are on the correct battery terminal. If yes and the LED lights do not come on, replace the module and then start over at the beginning of step 5.
6. With the harness plug removed, check the voltage reading between the ground pin (E3) and the liftgate battery positive (G). This should be the same as battery voltage. If yes, continue to step 7. If no, repair the lead from pin
(E3) to liftgate battery negative (H).
