Why do you want a battery trailer?
You do know that every day you don't use it the battery trailer the battery it's life is still withering away?
The best industrial lead acid stand by batteries kept at a steady 70°F and rarely used still get replaced about every 5 or 6 years.
Rarely used stand by generators can last 30 or 40 years and all they need changed is the oil, fuel and battery if it has one.
I suppose it's mostly about cost. If I could get a whole wrecked Nissan Leaf for less than $1,000 and throw the batteries on a trailer and scrap the rest of the wrecked Leaf I could make my own Leaf have a much larger range for cheap (cheap as far as electrics go.) At the same time it would still be all-electric.
