Because many breakaway devices are never called into use, it’s easy to understand why it might be overlooked. Section 393.43 of the Federal Code states that a breakaway system “. . . shall be provided to maintain application of the brakes on the trailer in such case for at least 15 minutes.” Many “lantern” style and small battery systems will clearly not meet this Federal requirement. Even larger batteries may be caught low on power if they are not checked at regular intervals. With shrinking maintenance resources available, breakaway batteries may not receive the attention they need. Given the exposure involved, it just makes good business sense to specify the best components available.
