Question.

Hi Joe, is it accessible? could it be an auxiliary power socket?

An Accessory power socket that can also be used for charging the battery

 

Can't you get one of those plug in usb type things from Amazon or similar? Then a cable with usb A and whatever your lphone needs. Can't be that hard, shirley?

Hi Joe,
If that is the original Triumph accessory socket then it is not a car type cigarette socket. It's a Hella Din plug. This can be used to plug in a battery conditioner or use it to charge your phone/sat nav when on the move. It is usually a permanently live socket and the plug type you need is like this:-

Or this one specifically for an Optimate:-

Hope this helps

 

Yes Joe, just search for Din Motorcycle socket and you will find what you need

 

Sportsbikeshop have a big range of cables and adapters. I got one there to adapt my old charger to the new din type socket on the Triumph 400 for just a few pounds.

 

I don't have an iPhone, but would this usb-c to power socket cable do it in one go? Don't take my word for it though!!

 

Sorry AJC400 that plug is for a car type cigarette lighter socket and will not fit the triumph accessory socket.

 

That’s a 12V accessory socket, just like a car’s cigarette lighter port. You can plug in phone chargers, heated gear, or other 12V accessories just grab a standard motorcycle compatible plug. Handy for power on the go! Pic would help confirm, but that’s almost certainly what it is.
