Optimate O-97C12, 12V Magnetic Connector Clip for a Safe Battery Charger Connection

The OptiMate O-97C12 is a premium MagCode 12V magnetic connector clip adapter designed to interface directly with an OptiMate panel-mounted magnetic port (such as the O-97P12). Engineered to replace traditional charging plugs that can be cumbersome or easily damaged, this magnetic clip instantly mates to your vehicle’s exterior port with zero friction. The opposite end features a standard, heavy-duty SAE connector, allowing you to seamlessly adapt your existing battery charger or maintainer into a high-tech, self-finding magnetic charging system.

Features and Benefits

• Self-finding magnetic coupling — Utilizes advanced MagCode technology to automatically align, snap together, and lock the charging connection into place by simply bringing the clip near the vehicle's port.

• Short-circuit proof design — Completely safe to handle; the electrical contacts inside the round plastic connector clip remain physically isolated and unpowered until perfectly aligned with the mating receptacle, eliminating sparks and short-circuit risks.

• No-fumble reverse polarity protection — Features an engineered interlocking groove and alignment notch system that mechanically prevents the clip from contacting the port backwards. If it isn't aligned right, the contacts cannot touch.

• Heavy-duty nylon sleeve — The premium cable is wrapped in a highly visible red nylon protective mesh sleeve for maximum abrasion resistance, flexibility, and protection against sharp edges around vehicles or workshop environments.

• Length: 75 cm (30″) cable provides ample length to connect from your battery charger to an exterior or panel-mounted magnetic port.

• High-capacity current rating — Safely handles a continuous 10A current average and up to a 13A max peak rating, supporting higher-output smart chargers.

• 16 AWG / 1.32 mm² cable — Heavy-duty internal wiring paired with thick SPT-2W insulation ensures low voltage drop and high accuracy for diagnostic battery maintenance.

• Weatherproof inline sealing — Outfitted with a premium rubber inline sealing cap and shroud to entirely lock out water, mud, dirt, and dust from the heavy-duty SAE plug during outdoor or garage use.

• Rated for –40 °C/°F — Constructed from ultra-grade materials that remain fully pliable, bendable, and completely crack-resistant in extreme sub-zero freezing winter environments.
