1100 Evo battery charger connections

crawsue · 05-12-2017, 01:10 PM

Sorted! Attached Optimate lead number 47 to the DDA plug under the seat. Turns out my Optimate charger had the original style connector block, but Optimate lead number 17 is basically an adaptor and allows connection from old to new.

Having sorted out the 1100 Evo Optimate connection by utilising the DDA socket, the new owner of my 696 bought an new Optimate which of course doesn't fit the old style lead fitted to the battery....does anyone know if there s an adaptor lead to convert new to old, or does the 696 have a similar DDA socket that can be utilised? Cheers, CR

I think this is the adapter:

I don't know for sure but I would expect the 696 to be chargeable through the diagnostic plug in the same way as the 1100.

This is the thing I made from a piece of perspex and some copper mains cable soldered to a suitable in line fuse and a connector for my charger. I used this into the four pin connector under the seat of my 696. The perspex is asymetric so that I could not get the polarity wrong. All my charger fittings use that same RC car type fittings.

I use the charger via a connection to the battery on the 1100 evo in the usual way rather than monkey around under the seat.

Sorry, forgot to send photo of my curly cable connected to cigarette socket for use with my satnav. This just plugs into the usual tender lead socket where it emerges from under the tank and then is tucked into my tankbag.

I am having this exact problem right now having left the parking light on for about a week!

You’re not getting rid of the O-47 and O-17 leads by any chance are you?!

Wemoto sell a Ducati DDA adapter for BC Battery Charger lead for £9.82 pus P&P.
Cut the end off and add the suitable connector for your Optimate which are available on Ebay for a few quid.
