It is some sort of antique device that used to be used for something or other.
I cut off the alligator clips on the tender and put on a male plug end.
I hook my battery tender through there. No messing with attaching to the battery or alligator clips or corrosive battery acid. When I plug it in, I wrap the cord around the shift knob so there's no way I can forget to unplug it when I leave. Then I just toss it out the passenger window onto a semi soft landing area. Quick and easy.

This charger/tender I got has the thingy to plug into that antique device with it. Plug and play if you wish to do that.. http://www.sears.com/diehard-battery...p-02871219000P
I hooked it to the battery and have it on a block in front of the front tire. There is a light on it that tells you what it's doing (charge, maintain, fail, etc.) Like it this way as I can see it every time I go out in garage...
And that "antique device" is custom designed for my radar detector and phone charging system....
