I just bought a new Schumacher 1.5 maintainer charger, and it uses that same plug. It seems like that plug is becoming standard on chargers an many other 12v acesssories. Altho very hard to find, that plug also comes in a flush mount receptical, for mounting in dashes, side panels of ATV, etc etc.
But I mounted my pigtail to the batt positive terminal, and a screw into the frame for negative

You can pick up "key on" battery there and there is lots of room and ways to hide the wire.

I tied it direct to the battery with amp in line fuse in the + line. Too a couple of hrs to do.
