Looks a bit like a female Tamyia Connector. Have a look here: https://www.servocity.com/html/tamiy...l#.U0iWll5fQ80

Looks like a motorcycle battery charger plug to me. Maplin does them, albeit at a price which is absolutely laughable

Their pictures aren't great, but here's a few links to parts which might be right. Best to try your local store if you have one.

Agreed on the Tamiya connector thought (and the Geoff one).

What's it attached to anyways?

Yep, it's a pretty standard bike battery charger cable. If you want to charge a mobile from it, bear in mind that:

- it'll have 12V on it, so you'll need a suitable step-down converter, and
- it'll be permanently connected to the battery, so anything you leave connected to it could potentially cause the battery to drain.

Yup, Optimates and Accumates were supplied with Tamiya connectors to hook up the battery.
