Very hard to tell from the contrast on the white connector, but assuming one side is a round hole and the other square, then it looks incredibly similar to a Tamiya connector used for R/C car batteries.

looks like SAE (as mentioned above)

so depending on the trickle charger you get (some older ones were SAE which means it would just connect) but most likely the EL109 on the link will be needed.

That looks like a TM / KET connector – a legacy connector used in OptiMate battery chargers up to 2012. It depends what type of charger you are using as you will either need an adapter as shown in the above posted link or you could just buy a used Optimate III or earlier charger.

I bought a bike with a fitting like that and I think it was an Oxford charger.

I'd be tempted to remove the cable and buy a new CTEK 5 or similar and just fit the wire that comes with the new charger rather than buy a charger to fit the cable.

Some trickle charger connections use the same family of connectors as was used for disk drive power in older PCs.
You might be able to cut down a four way to fit.

They are often referred to as 'Molex' connectors, but Molex was just one manufacturer.
The pin spacing or 'pitch' is the main way of classifying usch connectors.

Most things are on ebay.

The simplest and easiest way to resolve this is by buying a trickle charger that comes with it's own leads. Then it really doesn't matter which type that is, as you'll be dropping it in the bin.

oxford oximiser uses this connection, along with older optimate chargers:

I'd just get a ctek xs 0.8 though.
