True, if you rely on only the 4-flat connection the only way to charge the batteries is from the parking light circuit and you are limited to 2 amps max. In my mind the CORRECT way to setup a charging circuit to a toad is with a 6 or 7 wire connector that includes power from the towing vehicle all the time.
