Abstract
An electric trailer brake system includes an electric brake receiving energy from a battery. The battery is recharged by a generator disposed on the trailer independent from the towing vehicle. Recharging the batteries that power the electric brake assemblies on the trailer minimizes the effects of power restrictions caused by a standard sized connector and cable connection between the towing vehicle and cargo trailer.
