If someone looked at my bike, they would see 3 of these connectors.
Battery tender, and two plugs for heated gear for rider and passenger.

I picked up a 2011 Street glide and I noted the battery tender wire hanging down from the battery compartment. On another day I was looking around and discovered what looked like another battery tender connection tucked down lower, sort of behind the oil cap. But this one had what kind of looked just like an in line fuse box except it had a small red light on it that was flashing.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

Hey pretty sure that's it. Sorry I didn't have a picture, I happened to have just went out of town the other day (the day after I noticed this) and was just thinking about it and decided to ask.
Mine was flashing red, and my battery was low that day and I had to jump it with my Halo. I drained it too much messing with the radio and stuff I guess.
So this is for charging the battery via a Harley charger, not for gear?

^^^^^^^^^^^
And let's not forget the flashing light. None of the heated gear plugs that I have had has a light on it and is usually a 12v DC coaxial connector.

Below is the current draw for HD's heated gear.
If you and your passenger were to wear the above gear combined, it wouldn't exceed 20A.

With a used bike it could be a million things. Move on with your life. Doesn't matter what they did with it, only what you will. Myself, I would use the one closer to the outlet. Not to say curosity didn't kill the cat.
