Optimate DC connectors
 

Can anyone identify the DC connectors as used by optimate - they look the same as the ones used in Tamiya R/C cars as well - I want to order male and female ones ( RS or Maplin ) so I can cable up all 3 bikes and be able to use either the optimate or the fast charger.

Actually I'll answer my own question here :? I have done a bit of googling, and I find that (amazingly) Radio Spares stock all the optimate accessory leads, and are cheaper than any of the motorcycle suppliers!

link ?

Well not sure about RS but Farnell numbers are 151-866 and 151-872 for the shells and 151-891 for the pins and 151-890 for the sockets.
They are made by Molex and are the 5557 and 5559 range.

The leads I am interested in are stock 458 9383 which come out at about £5 inc vat

I shall get them next week, RS have a branch up the road and I get a further discount there too.

Brucey - thanks for that, I have a Farnell catalogue at work, I'll try and sneak some onto our next legitimate order!
