BATTERY CONNECTOR W/CAP TM71

My Yamaha 535 has battery that you can't even check the fluid level (or charge it) without removing it from the bike! And removing the battery is a fiddly, time consuming knuckle scraping affair. So, I bought a sealed-for-life battery. All I needed was to be able to charge the thing whilst it was still on the bike. This little lead provided a perfect solution. Well made and fused. Just connect the charger to the lead and wait until the charger says it's finished. I've used this lead for over a year and the rubber cap has been 100% waterproof. UPDATE! The original connection lead started to become intermittent. The Optimate charger would think the battery was flat and shriek 'Desulfate!' Replaced the lead and normal service was resumed. The original lead was used once a week for 5 years, so I can't complain. The new lead / connector looks a bit more 'chunky' so perhaps others have suggested this improvement. I originally said: Would I buy it again if I changed the bike? Yes. I'll now say: If the lead wears out, would I buy another: Yes.

Excellant Quality, fits the older Datatool charger leads. Perfect

Another connector variation giving flexible charger with your bikes batteries.

Not as well made as the original, I wish I'd taken the old one off the Bike now.

Used on motorcycle battery, good piece of kit

We have three bikes and use an Optimate lead on all three. This is the shorter version so will remain under the seat for stowing away or possibly be used for fixing out of sight behind a fairing panel. The other two bikes have the longer version that fix to the handle bars. Ive never had any problem with any of mine and as long as you replace the waterproof cap very little can go wrong.I just use the optimate for a week on each bike and it works great for me.

Did exactly what it said on the tin. I moved a bike on and the old Optimate fitting went with it. The replacement bike wasn’t supplied with any charging accessories and I did think that I may have had to upgrade the old Optimate III. Fortunately again Amazon came up with the goods and this proved to be an excellent replacement. I alternate two bikes on the Optimate over the winter, seven days on and seven days off. I don’t ride a lot over the winter – lightweight I know. But it means that the bikes are ready and sorted for when I need them next. Ideal bit of kit.

This fused power takeoff from Optimate is great value and easy to fit (even on my BMW R1100RS, where body panels have to be removed to reach the battery!) Once the battery was exposed, it was a five minute job to attach the connections to the terminals, tuck the takeoff under the seat, and, Hey Presto, another opportunity to plug heated vest/sat nav/intercome onto my trusty tourer. Of course, too much power being taken from the battery can lead to problems - but trickle charging with an Optimate after every trip solves that nicely. Recommended.

Comprato per sostituire il cavetto originale del mio Optimate 4. La presa esterna da collegare al mantenitore è dotata di un cappuccio morbido in gomma per respingere l'acqua e lo sporco, ma non è fissato al connettore stesso. L'ideale sarebbe, dopo aver scelto se utilizzare il cappuccio rosso o nero, dare un giro di nastro americano per assicurarsi che non si stacchi. Niente di che, giusto una sicurezza mentale in più. Il fusibile fornito è un 15A. Se avete un optimate 6 od uno di quelli che può utilizzare una corrente di carica molto elevata per desolfatare batterie molto scarica, non cambiatelo. Se avete un Optimate 4 o che non eroga correnti superiori ai 6A potete inserire il fusibile che volete. Io ho rimesso il 7.5A che si trovava sul cavo originale dell'Optimate 4, giusto per non avere sorprese in caso di malaugurati sovraccarichi del vecchio mantenitore. Per il resto è un prodotto ottimo.

Ich habe diesen Artikel nirgends günstiger gefunden. Wenn man mehrere Fahrzeugbatterien aufladen will, ist das hier die optimale Ergänzung für das Ladegerät. Ein solches Kabel war beim Ladegerät dabei. Das habe ich am Motorrad installiert. Die BAtterie vom Roller wollte ich aber ebenfalls zwischendurch laden. Da man dafür die halbe Verkleidung demontieren muss, habe ich mir dieses Kabel gekauft. Jetzt brauche ich das Ladegerät nur noch mit dem Kabel verbinden, ohne ständige Schrauberei. Funktioniert prima. Ich kann das Kabel empfehlen.

バイクにつけておけばいつでも充電が簡単にできるのでいいですね

It does what it's supposed to. I'm happy with it. Easy to install and fast to hook up after a ride.

Muy buena solución para poner el cargador de optímate, es el segundo que instalo, cada moto que tengo no puedo estar sin instalarlo.
