Going over my '21 TG to get familiar with it and located the battery tending pigtail behind the left side panel. The connection is not standard to what I'm used to. There is a blade terminal connection; anyone know what it is for?

5 Amp Global Battery Charger
The 5 Amp Global Battery Charger incorporates all the features of the 1.5 Amp Global Charger, and reduces typical recharging time to 1 to 2 hours. Maximum output charge rate is 5.0 Amperes. Compatible with 2-pin and 3-pin charging harnesses, the output current automatically switches between 5A and 2.5A, depending upon the type of harness used. The full 5A output current is available when used with 3-pin type harnesses and 2-pin charging harnesses are limited to 2.5A. The advanced solid-state circuitry constantly monitors and adjusts the voltage to maintain optimum battery energy levels without overcharging and automatically switches to float mode for maintaining charge over extended periods of time. The charger accepts worldwide input voltage 100 to 240 VAC @ 50 to 60 Hz. A universal power supply unit enables the 5 Amp Global Battery Charger to properly charge and maintain all H-D® 12-volt batteries worldwide. 2 year manufacturers warranty. Typical Recharge Time: 1-2 Hours.

Thanks Gregg! Guess if I ever take a trip to Europe...
Hahaha…won’t happen.
Any standard SAE plug like this (standard) fits/works with that socket…I have the same 3-point socket on my ‘21 TG…
NOTE: this is the BIKE side polarity; note the + connection is shrouded/protected.
The charger side is opposite…as battery maintainers have short-circuit protection.

Guess H-D is standardizing parts so they don't have to have 2 - 1 for US and 1 for international.
I would have a tendency to agree with that; the bike battery tender harness is actually part of the main wiring harness now, not an add-on.

No they didn't. However, I did find out if I rate them a "10" on a survey they would give me a charger . The trickle charger I have plugs into the standard 2 pin terminals without issue. I measured the voltage at 12.74 so I won't know if it's actually charging until the voltage actually drops enough to kick it on (if that makes any sense).
I was told by HD parts guy that it is used if you are charging a lithium battery.
