612 battery charger plug

Can someone please send me a photo of the plug end of the adapter that goes with the OEM CTEK charger for the 612? The photo below is the standard round plug in the trunk. I do not have the original charger so I ordered a CTEK charger with the "Ferrari" adapter that was listed as fitting the 612 however it is "U" shaped and not round. The vendor says that he only has seen the U shaped adapter and the magnetic one for the 458/488. I believe that the U shaped one fits the 430.

I'd like to show him what the adapter plug looks like to see if he can locate them. Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

So the early models did not use the CTEK? Anyone have an idea on where I can get a ZIVAN plug so I can convert to the CTEK?

I have an email out to ZIVAN USA.

 

Heard back from ZIVAN USA and they claim to NOT have any parts/plugs available to fit the plug in the 612.

 

Good thought. I'll check on the 360 page.

 

They are about $300 from Ferrari. Way more than I'd like to spend and don't want the full cable. I currently use the CTEK with the pigtail connected to the battery but would like to find a plug that could hook directly to the zivan plug and rewire for the CTEK.

 

DId the Aston originally have a Zivan charger?

 

Thanks for the information. I'm trying to find the CTEK plug that you referenced. I've found sources for the XRL plug but would rather go with the CTEK plug if it fits rather than having to make something.

 

Thanks for the offer. I just sent a message to the EBAY seller to see if he will ship here.

My CTEK supplier here in the US does not have access to that plug (or he is not looking that hard).

 

UK Ebay seller will not ship to the US. I see several other UK and German vendors with the plug. I wonder why they only seem to be available in Europe? I have an email out to CTEK asking where the plug is available in the US. I'll post what I find if anyone else wants one.

 

I found the plug at this vendor: mccormicktools.co.uk which had the lowest price and they will ship to the US.

All in with shipping the plug came to $17.00 US

I still don't know why the plug is only available in Europe.

 

Let's see what happens when the plug arrives. Anyone else should hold off ordering and I'll update when it arrives. It fits an Aston. Need to see if it fits a Ferrari. If not, I'll keep the plug and find a plug elsewhere. I don't really care if it locks in like the original as long as it fits and functions.

 

Well nartwas correct. This C-TEK does not fit the 612. On the 612 the pin spacing is an equalaterial triangle while this one is not. Additionally the plug is too small to fit around the round part of the 612 plug.

Apparently this plug will fit an Aston, but not Ferrari. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

If anyone wants the plug for another use, they can have it for my $17 cost otherwise I'll be putting it up on ebay for $25 as apparently this plug in not available in the US.
