Battery Tender Quick Connect Cable

Deltran Battery Tender Quick Connect

When I traded in my Sporty for my Dyna I had to go out and get a replacement for the Battery Tender Quick Connect Cable. When Diana traded in her Sporty on her Dyna I had to do it again! How’s that for a product endorsement? If any of you riders out in Internet land need a Deltran Battery Tender Quick Connect Cable with a 7.5 amp fuse then I am glad to announce we now carry them at www.Shop.RoadCaptainUSA.com

Pigtail battery tender quick connect with SAE 2-pin connector

This is a high quality brand name item manufactured by Deltran and sold under the brand name Battery Tender. This quick connect cable, also known as a pigtail, is 24″ long and has a built in 7.5 amp fuse and a tethered cap over the SAE2 pin connector. It attaches to your 12 volt battery with 5/16″ ring connectors. Beware of the less expensive 3 amp version with smaller ring connectors also made by Deltran… you want the 7.5 amp one.

12 Volt Power Port with SAE 2-pin connector

Once you have this cable attached to your battery you can use it to quickly attach to a battery tender and other devices that use an SAE2 pin connector. You can purchase several devices that work with this conector at www.ShopRoadCaptainUSA.com

We have the innovative 12 Volt Power Port that you can use to hook up your GPS and recharge your cell phone. We also offer a Coaxial Cable Adapter so that you can plug your heated gear into your pigtail in the winter time. We also have an 8′ extension for those of you you want to connect to your battery tender from across the room.

We will add the Batter Tender Junior to our product lineup very soon. All Deltran battery tenders come packaged with this quick connect cable.

We Love You Karen

Mama rode off to heaven on Friday April 24, 2009 at the age of 47. Karen was born in Wilmington, DE, the daughter of Louise Bain and the late Herlan Bain . She was a 1980 graduate of William Penn High School and has been a resident of New Castle County all her life. Karen was a Hairdresser for 30 years. She was a member of First State Chapter of H.O.G. where she was Activities Officer. Karen enjoyed travelling, reading, bowling, riding and spending time at the beach.

Karen leaves behind to cherish her memory her loving husband and best friend of 27 years Edward C. Fortner II; her sons Ryan E. Fortner, his fiancée Marissa Massey and their son Tyler R. Fortner of Newark, DE, Justin C. Fortner and Colby B. Fortner both of Newark, DE; her mother Louise Bain of Bear, DE; her brother Roger A. Bain of Bear, DE; and her mother-in-law Clara Fortner.
