What Connector ??

[Nick the greek]

Hi everyone, hope you are all well and safe.

Can anyone tell me what this connector is ?
I thought it might be a HXT but it appears to have two male connectors inside instead of one male and one female.
It is on a LIPO battery from a reasonably cheap drone, see pic, that came with its own charger but I want to connect the batteries to my own charger so as to check/store/balance.
Have attached pics.
Thanks

HXT comes as outer and brass contacts so you should be able to put 2 males or 2 females into the outer plastic holder just make up a jump lead to make your batteries fit , just make sure you check polarity of the jump lead before you plug it in

Hi and thanks for the reply. I was leading, excuse the pun , to that solution so will make up some leads from charger to battery. Much safer than messing with the battery connections.

No issue with taking off the existing lead just work on one wire at a time and tape down the one not being worked on to the cells so you can't short anything, biggest mistake is cutting both leads at once and shorting power through your cutting tool and damaging the cells a bit that way, cut the black tie it back cut the red and get it soldered into a connector and covered then untape and work on the black lead. I put XT style connectors on everything just to keep it consistent, XT-30 for the small ones XT-60 for medium size stuff and XT-90 for big things (30A 60A 90A max continuous load respectively)
