Connector for 12V under seat

I have a '09 FXDC, I was wondering where I could buy a couple connectors for the charging plug? I want to rig up a charger I have and a cell phone charger too. I came off a 2 day ride and my phone died because I took so many pics, wife thought I bit a guard rail because I didnt call home to check in.

Thanks,

Steve

Battery tender plug is a standard SAE plug. You should be able to get them at almost any auto parts store in the electrical aisle

Harbor Freight has a lighter plug that hooks up to the battery plug for $2.99. Look for the thread here.

SAE plug is the way to go. Get a good weatherized 12v plug and solider and shrink tube on a SAE plug. You can then connect right up to your tender plug that is more than likely already hooked to the battery. I did this on my suzuki and when I needed to charge something I snapped it on and plugged in. Making your own let's you adjust the cable length to fit your exact need.

Powerlet is a good choice. If they don't have exactly what you want, they'll assemble to your needs. They made me an SAE cable that steps down to 5 volt with a mini USB on the other end. Allows me to connect my cell phone into the trickle charger cable and charge my Motorola phone on stops.
