OptiMate O-97P12, 12V Magnetic Port Lead for a Safe Battery Charger Connection

The OptiMate O-97P12 is a professional-grade, panel-mounted MagCode® 12V magnetic port receptacle designed to establish a clean, OEM-style charging interface on your vehicle. Engineered to eliminate the hassle of exposed traditional plugs or removing body panels, this self-finding magnetic connection system snaps instantly into place when paired with a matching MagCode clip. It delivers a highly secure, short-circuit proof connection ideal for race cars, premium sports cars, agricultural machinery, and industrial equipment.

Features and Benefits

• Self-finding magnetic coupling — Utilizes advanced MagCode® technology to automatically align and lock the connection in place when the mating clip is brought near, making charging effortless even in low-light settings or while wearing heavy gloves.

• Short-circuit proof & reverse polarity protection — Power is only delivered once the magnetic connector is completely and correctly seated; the contacts remain mechanically isolated until aligned, preventing dangerous electrical shorts or reverse polarity issues.

• Flush panel-mount design — Mounts securely to any flat exterior or interior panel surface using the included 4-bolt flange hardware, offering a clean, professional finish that keeps wiring tucked safely away out of harm's way.

• Adaptable dual-ring technology — The 40-inch battery harness features heavy-duty combination ring terminals that default to 5/16" (M8) but adapt easily to 3/8" (M10) by removing the inner tab, ensuring a precise fit on any standard battery post.

• High-capacity current delivery — Safely rated for a 10A continuous average and up to a 13A maximum current rating, easily supporting trickle chargers and heavy-duty maintenance setups.

• 16 AWG / 1.32 mm² cable — Heavy-duty wiring wrapped in thick, premium SPT-2W insulation to ensure highly accurate voltage sensing and maximum resistance against abrasions and oil.

• Inline safety protection — Equipped with a built-in 15A ATO fuse to fully safeguard your vehicle's sensitive onboard electronics and wiring harness from sudden electrical faults.

• Weatherproof integrated sealing — Includes a durable, attached protective sealing cap to shield the magnetic contact surface from water, mud, dust, and corrosive road grime when not in use.

• Rated for –40 °C/°F — Constructed from ultra-grade components that remain fully operational, pliable, and crack-resistant during extreme sub-zero winter temperatures.
