Beware that the Optimate charging plugs will also fracture at the lead to plug joint, exposing the copper core... I caught mine just in time and by pure luck. I thought that it was adequately strain relieved but it had been on the bike and in regular use for 5 years so had seen a fair bit of flexing one way and another. The plus point is that the Optimate charge lead is fitted with a fuse that can be made easily accessible. Worth a careful check if you are using one of these leads.
