Sunday Stupid Question - Charging

Morning all!

Just second guessing myself here. The helpfully named "accessory socket" on the right hand side behind the cylinders - looks like a small cigarette lighter socket. I can use that with an appropriate (LiPo) battery charger/maintainer, right?

Bike is a 2024 Speed Triple 1200RR

Thanks

 

What does the manual say?

 

It doesn’t mention it. Just says what it is - an accessory socket.

 

Yes i had this on one of my Bonneville's. I purchased a cigarette type lighter socket with two USB points and a lead for my phone. Believe i found them all on eBay.

 

Thanks Joe.

 

Yes it is a permanent live socket and can be used for charging the battery BUT it is not a cigarette lighter socket it's a Hella Din type socket. This is the plug you need

If it is live when the ignition is off then it could well be ok for charging

 

Thanks all - I had the correct plug, checked it was live when ignition was off and gave it a go with my NOCO charger (set for LiPo of course).

No problem - it is indeed a charging point. And apparently it's 5A fused as well so pretty safe.
