gerbings connector question
I think I have a Gerbings connector under my seat or it could be for a battery tender. Is there any way to tell what it is it will work with my Gerbings can I also use it for my battery tender?

A battery charger cable uses an SAE plug. Two terminals, with one exposed male and one rubber encased female. It usually has a rubber cap that covers the terminals, so it may not look like what I described at first glance. A heated gear cable uses a coaxial cable, usually equipped with a rubber male plug to keep it from being exposed. There are adapters available to go from one to another.

I guess I did not make my self clear I am sure it is a gerbings cord as my heated gear works. I want to take my 2 pin connector on my battery tender and put a male garbing end on and use the gerbings connector for clothes and battery tender . Any body see any problems ?

My Gerbing connectors are hooked directly to the battery posts on both Spyders & my Goldwing. I use them for my battery tenders and have built a standard 12v female connector (i.e. cigarette lighter receptacle) that connects to them as well. This gives me a 15A plug that'll power whatever I plug into it, like my air compressor. I have zip-tied it to the cable running to the passenger seat under the saddle & stuff them down that same square hole when not in use.
Very versatile & works great!

Plug under seat
As Scotty says, you can get adapters from single plug to two amd vice versa. The charger adapter comes with something like a 3 amp fuse. Gerbing gear needs at least 10 and maybe 15, depending on how much electrically heated gear you are using. On their web site, they have the different draw of jackets, gloves, etc, as well as adapters.

No sweat! Use this Powerlet adapter or a Gerbing equal. http://www.powerlet.com/product/coax...o-sae-cable/54 You can also get a coax to cigarette adapter or coax to Powerlet adapter if that works better for you.
