Datatool Battery Conditioner - Same as? - SV650.org

11-03-10, 09:37 PM

I've got a Datatool Battery charger/conditioner and looking to get the cigar lighter socket for it, but does anyone know if the Datatool charger is the same as the Optimate, Accumate or both in terms of connections? I think it's both but endless searches of tinterweb have resulted in no postive answer?! Help!!

Mini Cigar Lighter socket is also known as "DIN 4165" - it's a standard size so all sockets should work

Do you mean you want the cigar lighter adaptor that fits on the end of the wire of your charger?

If so, take an end-on picture of the connector on the charger cable, (not the bit that connected to the bike or the bit with the croc-clips on it), and I'll see if it's the same as the connector on my Optimate and another charger I've got.

Yep that's the one, probably could have been clearer in my OP. I want the cigar lighter accessory cable that fits onto the permanent charger cable connected to the battery that the charger cable plugs into. I'll take a pic now and try and post it!

Don't go with what I say but the Honda dealer i got my datatool from said they were the same on the outside but the electrics inside were different, something about the datatool charges at different rates depending on the condition of the battery but the connectors on the optimate and datatool were the same. I half listened whilst drippling on the sales counter trying not to fall asleep.

Just to clarify; do you want a socket to connect another accessory to the charger lead on the bike, or do you want to plug your charger into a cigar socket?

The first one: is this.

The second: is this.

Both will suit the leads you have shown.
