The power for my braking system and the charge wire from the coach go directly to the battery terminal bypassing the Battery Brain. I covered all exposed electrically hot surfaces with liquid tape. The yellow cap on the Battery Brain is the manual bypass. As you can see I removed (cut it off)the cover that original covered the positive terminal. My original battery went bad after 18 months and my dealer replaced it under warranty. They never questioned the use of the Battery Brain but were very interested in how it operated, service manager thought it was cool. I keep the key fob and garage door opener in the overhead eye glass storage.
Very nice!!! thanks...
