Does anyone know what this plug is? I think it's some sort of DIN but can't be sure. It's on the 54.6v charger for my electric outboard battery. Obviously the Mfr wants £70 for a generic 2A lithium charger which should be £20. If I can find out what this plug is then maybe get an adaptor to the more common XLR type plugs then I can save £50, which seems worthwhile to me.

Not immediately recognising it. Are there any markings on it at all? Is the ring locking device a partial turn bayonet type lock, or a multi-turn screw on lock?
If the existing charger is faulty and you need a new one, why not just remove the connector from the old charger and connect it to the new one?

I had the same issue recently with a plug. Look on eBay there are traders who have all varieties, with photos. You should be able to find it, a little manufacturer aren’t going to make their own connectors.

DMX uses XLR connectors. As far as I know there are no locking ring type XLR connectors, the locking versions just have a spring loaded tab.

Thanks for those. Yes it is the slot which intrigued me as a din doesn't usually have that.
I want to have two chargers for the device. The existing one is not faulty but paying £50 for a little brand label and a funny plug seems a bit wrong.

If the existing charger is faulty and you need a new one, why not just remove the connector from the old charger and connect it to the new one? It's threaded, or as you put it multi-turn screw on. The product is Austrian. It seems to me to be some sort of DIN plug but I can't find it.

So, get 2 pairs of similar connectors, make up a device lead using your one connector and half a new connector, put the other new connectors on your chargers. Then you can use both chargers wherever.

That relies on remembering to take the link lead with me. I do like this suggestion but I will tend to forget to take it with me.

Damned uppity newbie @magnetman, The don't know if what I saw was the same, Google 2a Sans Charger or 42v ebike charger. Now get on with it, chop chop. Why do da yout of today not follow orders. TonyDunkley has the same problem with his Acolyte kris.
