Requesting help: How to identifying a battery connector

All,

I'm currently in the process of up grading the batteries for my current robot project to use 18650 Li-on batteries. However, the battery holder for the  4 x 18650 does not have a conector such as the one on the alkaline battery holder.

I'm not sure if the connector is a Fut J, JST, BEC, etc.

Thanks in advance.

I went ahead, ordered some of the connector housings and crimped wires as suggested by Duane.

Pololu is awesome. The order already shipped.

The connector it’s just two regular female pins. Check if red is really + by applying current to a led with a resistance if necessary

@Silux  - interesting. I’ll have to test for that, never knew that issue could arise. Thanks for the info :slight_smile:
