Could anyone Help !! .
Got myself a Warrior Trickle charger , had it for a couple of years now . Went to take it off my scooter battery and snapped one
of the ring connectors. Been looking online for a spare but with no luck . Its a white plastic male /female connector with the red and black ring connectors. Is any other cable compatible with it maybe the Oxford ones as they look similar.
Would it be easier to crimp a new connector on myself . Any thoughts ?

Don't know anything about Warrior ones specifically, but the market is full of chargers with connectors that look the same, but aren't....standardisation has yet to reach the charger market. Its probably not a hard job to repair if you know someone with a soldering iron.

Crimp on a new ring connector bud, if you're near me pop round & I'll do it for you

Thanks for the advice chaps , Think the easiest fix might be to crimp a new ring on the broken end Thanks for the offer Bern .
Search on the web has been a waste of time , Might have to get a new charger for next winter , one that I can get spares when I
get a bit heavy handed . Cheers Lads.

I use a Lidl charger on one of my batteries cost £16.99,also use an optimate and one from Halfrauds too.Two of my batteries are over 12 years old and still hold a charge thanks to trickle charging when not using them

I have one of those cheap'o time switches set
to come on a hour a day and plug the charger
into that seems to keep everything happy

The recipe to keeping batteries healthy is not to let them go flat and just trickle charge
