not sure what it is, if you don't have the charger that goes with it then it doesn't matter, any charger will come with the proper connections you need to tie it in to your battery

Thanks for all of the help, looks like I'll buy an optima battery charger/ maintainer sometime down the road, but the bike won't be sitting in the garage much😁

The newer Optimate charger won't come with that connector.

Just remove that old connector and put the SAE connector that everyone uses now.
