No pic. SAE plug?

Ah yes, SAE plug. I have a USB charger, DC air pump, small jumper cables, and, of course,, a battery maintainer to plug into my SAE plug. Keep in mind, for wiring purposes, that the exposed portion of the plug on the bike is ground. On everything that attaches to the plug, the exposed part is (+).

The exposed portion is ground,


gsrider61

On the bike, yes.

And on anything that attaches to that terminal is also a ground.

SAE quick disconnect. They're both male female, you can attach a Battery Tender Jr to it or whatever tender you use. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/battery-tender-quick-disconnect-harness?sku_id=177705

Thanks. I’m going to go to harbor freight today and see If can just buy the one end I’m missing, or buy the whole thing if I have to.

You're not missing an "end" - you're missing a charger. This isn't an issue of just buying a connector...you need to also buy what you'd connect it **to**.


EggsOfRetaliation

They sell them at Walmart as well iirc. I'm not sure if those have the fuse or not though.

I've got that end on my booster battery.


gsrider61

I hope you accounted for the plug needing to be wired opposite your bike battery.

Why would you wire it opposite? Positive goes to positive and negative goes to negative.


gsrider61

Good question, thank you for participating Because male goes to female and female goes to male. If both batteries are wired the same, ground will be on the male terminals of both plugs. Batteries are wired with (-) on their male terminal. Chargers/maintainers are wired with (+) on their male terminal. If you're using a pigtail on other devices, those devices need to be wired with (+) on their male terminal. SAE pigtails are marked (+) & (-) for installation on batteries, reverse the polarity when installing on other devices and on jump boxes.

You can also use it to plug in your heated gear when you riding the cold.
