My power outlet on the left side behind engine stopped working after I tried to put a battery tender on it. I checked the fuse box under the seat and all were good. Can anyone help me on this?

The power outlet plugs into a little plug on the wiring harness, and maybe when you installed the battery tender, you loosened that plug accidentally. I would check that first. I suppose another possibility is that you shorted something and blew a fuse, but that's easy to check too.

It should be fine for a tender as its on a 10amp fuse, pretty sure tenders don't output that many amps.
I would look at the tender plug, have pulled the wires on mine a couple of times.

Where is the fuse? Under seat fuse box all good.

If the fuses are good, check to see that you didn't loosen the plug at the wiring harness. That's right behind the outlet. I really think that's the most likely scenario.
As for using the outlet for a battery tender, it is just fine for that purpose. Optimate badges one of their units with the Triumph marque, and Triumph sells them. You can buy a plug from Triumph, with a Triumph part number, that will plug right into the powerlet plug to connect the Optimate and tend the battery.
I have both the Optimate and a Battery Tender. I have a pig tail on the battery of the R3T, and I have the powerlet outlet there on the left side. I generally use the Optimate unit through the powerlet plug on the R3T, and I generally use the Battery Tender on the supermoto, lawnmower, etc.

I have the adaptor for the European plug that converts it to a regular plug. I did not see any wires loose. I will have to recheck fuses I guess. It happened about the time my heated grips shorted out.

There aren't any "loose wires." Either the prongs are seated, or they're not. Good luck.

ok, using a meter, I found a bad fuse. Get this. This fuse not only controls the Aux, but the Heated Grips AND the memory on the Trip display.
