Default Pig tail

I just bought a used hd that has a hd pig tail attached to the battery. Can I plug in my battery tender jr or will they not be compatible.
Thanks

If it's a "SAE" style plug, then you shouldn't have any problems. Look at the plug on the charger to see if it is a match. A photo would have been beneficial.

If it looks like this, it's for the battery tender. (disregard that little oblong slit at the top).

From what I've seen the battery tender and harley battery tender have the same style connector. You should be fine.
