Chuck roedema Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Why does my Edge battery go dead after 50 miles of pulling behind my RV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgetjq Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Are you using the Edge lighting (brakes/running) while towing? Are any other systems in use (power ports etc) or is the key left on to prevent the steering from locking? Are you starting the Edge every 6 hours as recommended? It just sounds like there 'must' be something in the Edge that's powered up while it's being pulled. Cheers!

mvan231 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Further, you may need a special harness to keep the battery charged in the Edge from the vehicle towing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd Edge Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 what year is the edge? ours is a 2012, i installed a 12v feed from the motorhomes 7 pin trailer connector. it feeds a 15 amp live to the battery. and i also ran a dedicated 12v line to the aux brake device. ours is push button start and you do not have to have nay thing on. just place car in N and plug in the brake device and your umbilical to power the rear lights and turn signals. i used a direct plug and play harness that plugs into the rear lights and you then run the wire back up front to the umbilical connection , mine is made by HOPPY and i sourced all the parts at etrailer.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
