Proper Newbies Question....

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Carl Hauxwell, Jan 30, 2022.

  1. Hello all. I ordered the wrong adapter for my optimate trickle charger. I can't, for the life of me find what i need to buy online. As the photos of the various products don't show the connections properly.

    Of course, I'm assuming this is the battery plug in as it is on the left side of the fairing where the battery is located (1198).

    Sorry if it's obvious.

  2. They are called SAE connectors

    Just Google Optimate SAE

    Early Optimates with the white plug use a Tamiya connector

  9. I see the problem. There is a plastic shield over the pin that is normally exposed.

  11. Looks like your battery fly lead is for a “Shido” battery charger. Lithium battery?

  13. I'll have a look one morning as ive not had the chance to open it up yet. I'm not sure it is a lithium as its gone completely dead in the cold.
