1985 K100RS. What are these connectors used for?

Just wondering what these 2 connectors can be used for? I have some idea but not quite sure. The one on the left goes straight to the battery and has a 10 amp fuse on the hot side. It is tucked-in by the cover over the coils. The one on the right just dangles out from underneath the seat. Depending on what they're used for, what adapters, if any, do I require?

Thanks,
Tom

One is a standard two-pole "trailer" style connector. It is most commonly used for things like battery chargers, air pumps, and heated clothing equipped with two-pole plugs. The other is a coaxial connector mostly used for heated clothing from Gerbing, Warm and Safe, and others.
 
The best setup for heated gear and battery maintenance. I run that setup on two bikes and an ATV.
Enjoy!

The two pole one is called an SAE connector and is what Battery Tenders use among other uses.
