Is it possible to identify this connector? (Panda Bikes battery)

I have acquired a Panda Bikes battery (long story). Panda bikes no longer exists, but a listing of the battery is preserved on the UK Amazon site here:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Electric-Battery-Universal-Lithium-charger/dp/B078C667JG

I would like to put the battery to use, but its power output connector has me stumped, The Amazon listing shows a picture with the male connector, and I have attached two images of the female end (which is attached to the battery).

The female connector is 10mm diameter, the two pins are 5mm apart (centre to centre).

My problem is that I don't have the male end. I really want to avoid cutting the current connector off and soldering on a new one, mainly because the wires are quite short, and the battery is live. Since the voltage measured at the connector is never zero (even with the battery switch in off position! ), I'd like to try and avoid the risk of a short through my amateur efforts if at all possible.

I'm afraid I have exhausted my searching skills after a good few days of squinting at web sites :-( My main problem is I don't know what these connectors are called, so searching blind really.
Panda bikes never answered emails when they were in business - they have now morphed into Swytch bikes, and still do not answer emails, so no joy on the supplier end.

I'm posting here in the hope that someone recognises the connector type, and can either tell me their correct name, or point me to a place to find them.

Thanks.

You easily have enough free cable to work with. Just carefully strip/shave off about an inch of the cable casing so you can see the conductors. Then you work one conductor at a time, cut one, tape the end, cut the other, add three pieces of shrink wrap, solder the first, then solder the second, to whatever type of connector that works for your build.
 
You should be fine as long as you only have one exposed cable at any time.
