2020 Limited. The last picture is the plug for the battery tender. Not sure what the plug in the 1st picture is for.


This is for the battery tender

The first pic is a factory installed pigtail for your battery tender, the 2nd is an additional one someone installed.

Both positive leads should trace to the battery, and perhaps one of the negative. If so, then you can use both to power whatever you want or charge your battery.

The one in the first pic is what came from the factory on my 2020 RGL. Not sure what the 3rd spade terminal is for but I plug my battery tender into it.

It's been discontinued for several years now, but HD used to sell a charger/tender that utilized the spade terminal.

On the 14 Limited the battery tender plug comes out from the bottom of the left side panel, I hated it there so I bought an extension and shoved it back inside the left panel and ran it under the seat so it comes out between the seat and tank. I just shove it between the tank and front of the seat when it's not in use.
