I have inherited a RING smartcharge4 3 stage charger; pic on -

This has a 2 pin connector on the output lead to allow you to connect different charging items ... croc clips, eyelets etc. Can anybody recognise these so I could get a spare:

I did try Maplin & RING ... no joy.


Only because there are 2 sets on connectors with moulded on plugs ... appreciate I could change those as well ... just much easier if I can get one ... rather than 3.

They look similar to several 12V car connectors ... hopefully someone will recognise them.

It is an SAE connector. A 2 pole bullet connector which used to be common on cars.

Maplin do actually sell them , albeit already made up as a cable

I've seen them before. Similar situation for connecting battery connectors on the end of a Maplins low wattage solar battery charger

-which incidentally was crap. Seem to be called solar panel connectors

I'm sure I used to see them on car radios & the like

Thnx

You can make a cheaper one by using single bullet connectors

and

then moulding some Sugru

around them to form a single unit.

SAE hermaphrodite connector?

That's what I need .... Ta

was just about to say .. 'but they are in US' gl;ad I read next post:-)

Just to throw a spanner in the works .. I have another (very good) CTEK charger, does anyone know if you can get these plug & sockets ...

tried Googling and can only find them made up by CTEK

I could then change the connectors on my RING charger to CTEK type and at least have standard connections.

I could buy the extension lead and the 56-689 adapter .... but together these would be £18 ... pretty pricey.

Yep, there are quite a few who do accessories like that..

All churned out in the same factory in china I expect;!..

Not quite sure why there are so many US companies advertising the same stuff as you can buy here - or from China - at a higher price plus exorbitant postage?
