In this way, does a 7 pin trailer plug charge battery?

You can put a maintenance charge on your trailer battery with the 12 volt accessory circuit of the 7-way. The 1:00 position of your 7-way carries this circuit. You would just need to run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot), from this pin to the positive terminal of the battery.

Similarly, will a 7 pin trailer plug fit a 12 pin socket? They're called five, seven, and twelve pin plugs because they connect five, seven, or twelve wires on your car to your caravan or trailer. So, if you turn the indicator on in your car, the first pin connects the signal in the car to the trailer indicator and makes the trailer indicator work.

In this regard, what is the center pin on a trailer plug?

The most common function to be found on that center pin is 12V trailer power. This is a low-level maintenance charge that will maintain a charged trailer battery while you're driving. In other applications this center pin will carry the trailer brake signal from the brake controller mounted in the tow vehicle.

Will my trailer battery charge while driving?

Many trucks/vehicles pulling a trailer will provide a charge to the trailer battery while driving down the road. So that leaves you with a partially charged trailer battery. Since the truck charging system is only wired to regulate itself, it does not sense that the trailer battery still needs a substantial boost.
