When you're wiring a 12-volt accessory on a motorcycle, ATV, or side-by-side, a simple power outlet is easy to overlook until you need to charge a phone or run a small device. In the powersports electrical batteries lighting category, two SPI Sports Parts Inc power outlets-SM-01615 and SM-01614-sit within a dollar of each other and appear equally straightforward on the page. So which one is the better place to spend your money? The answer depends less on obvious differences and more on the listed price and the alternate part numbers printed on each item.
Quick verdict
Both outlets are new SPI Sports Parts Inc components listed in the Electrical category. At $18.30, the SM-01615 is the lower-listed-price option. The SM-01614 costs $0.99 more at $19.29. If you don't already have a specific alternate part number in mind, the SM-01615 is the more direct buy. If your plans reference Alt MPN 1101017 or 42-9201, the SM-01614 is the one to order.

Product notes
SPI Sports Parts Inc Power Outlet SM-01615
The SM-01615 is the more economical of these two SPI power outlets. It's listed as new in the Electrical category, carries the brand's name, and uses Alt MPNs 1101018 and 42-9202. If you're replacing a worn outlet or adding one to a harness that doesn't specify a particular alternate number, the lower listed price gives you a straightforward reason to choose it. The limitation is that its Alt MPN set won't line up with the SM-01614's set. If your existing wiring or order sheet expects 1101017 or 42-9201, the SM-01615 isn't the matching outlet for that job.
SPI Sports Parts Inc Power Outlet SM-01614
The SM-01614 is the pick when the alternate part number matters more than the list price. Its Alt MPNs are 1101017 and 42-9201, and it's also a new SPI Sports Parts Inc power outlet in the Electrical category. The price is about a dollar above the SM-01615, but if you're replacing a unit that's already identified by one of those numbers, that premium is easier to justify. On the other hand, the listing doesn't describe any additional feature that would matter if you're starting from scratch. Without a part-number match, you're simply paying more for the same basic outlet type.
Final choice by use case
- Choose the SPI Sports Parts Inc Power Outlet SM-01615 when you want the lower listed price and don't need to match MPN 1101017 or 42-9201.
- Choose the SPI Sports Parts Inc Power Outlet SM-01614 when your build already references Alt MPN 1101017 or 42-9201, even at the slightly higher listed price.
