Optimate 12V Weatherproof Permanent Fused Eyelet Connection Lead (TM-71)
This is the latest TM version of the fused permanent connection lead - our most popular accessory. This version of the fused eyelet lead is the same format as those supplied with OptiMate (pre 2012) and AccuMate (pre 2015). It has a rubber cover for the 2-pin connector to keep the electrical connects dry and corrosion free.
You can use additional leads to fit one to every vehicle which requires its battery to be charged - in this way one OptiMate or AccuMate can be used with several vehicles on a rotational basis very simply and quickly.
Simply connect the 2 ring terminals to your battery and the weatherproof 2-pin connector will always be available to connect to your OptiMate, AccuMate, or power accessory without having to delve into the vehicle.

From 2000 to 2012, all UK supplied OptiMates were fitted with TM (AKA “KET”) connectors. In 2012, the SAE connector was introduced.
The easiest way to distinguish between the two is to look inside the rubber casing. The TM version has a white connector, while SAE versions are black. See picture showing TM71 (early and late) and O1 (SAE71) connectors.
