The Greatest Trailer Invention I've Seen in Decades
What happens here
Next, connect the wires from the installed stator to the control panel, also known as the controller. This controller converts the AC power generated by the system into DC power suitable for charging the battery. The controller is fully potted, making it resistant to water and submersion, and is designed to fit conveniently inside the trailer's rail. Once connected, the wiring from the controller is run directly to the trailer's battery. A key feature of the Stillwell Power Band is its intelligent charging; it cannot overcharge the battery because the control box automatically shuts off once the battery is fully charged.
Goal: Integrate the control unit and complete the electrical connection to the trailer's battery.
