    Does sound like a optimate plug can you not follow cable back and see if it goes to battery?

    If its just 2 pins and meters around 12.7 VDC or lower depebding on batt charge, then its connected to your battery.

    If it has two wires and is white it may be a tamiya connector. If it is black then it could be an SAE connector. Google them and you should get pics to compare against yours.

    If it is round then it may be a headset connector. Could be anything from a single hole to 5/6 inside it for intercoms cables.
