The only thing is I think there were only two lines and connectors, so not sure what the hell the last connection is on the plug...hence the WTF

My dealer installs one on every bike they sell as a no cost option.

I have rewired the accessory plug in the fairing directly to the battery and placed a lighter plug on the Battery Tender. No loose wires, just plug it in and walk away.

Default Battery tender Jr
I have been using the Deltran battery tender Jr on my 07 Road Glide for years with no issues. Used it on my 03 Deuce before that and my CBR929RR. Getting ready to buy another for my BMW K1200S. BMW wants $160.00 for their battery charger. Going to pick one up from Amazon for $23.38 before shipping, local shops want $39.00.

Make d*mn sure that line has a 15 Amp fuse on the + line (purists like me use a fuse on each line, + and -) lest you possibly short out and damage your AGM battery with an accessory. This is because the cigarette lighter plug could be used for improperly wired or high current devices not intended for an un-fused line.

Thanks
My 09 Ultra had this installed, 3 prongs, hence the WTF comment someone posted. Doesn't interfere and may not be a wire up there. Pict 1476 shows the connector from the bike and 1479 shows my battery tender jr connector when hooked up to the bike with the "extra" prong not used.

A lot of the hookups have the pigtail hanging out from under the seat.My RoadKings have the battery terminal on the starters exposed for the alligators clips to work just fine.Tenders are hooked up 100% of time bikes are parked in shop.
