Looking for connector info and pinout / HP battery pack

[NewbieUser]

Given how little I've been able to find online, it's almost like this battery pack shouldn't exist...

Does anyone know (a) what type of connector this is and/or (b) the pinout specifications?

I bought 4 of these, and after receipt I realized the size works for me - I might be able to use them intact instead of breaking them down and rewiring all the batteries into a custom pack.

FWIW, I haven't done any testing yet, but if I can leave these packs intact I plan to test two configurations; 2x2 (~90v+) or possibly 1x4 (~40v+).

Thanks in advance for any info!

Looks like it is used in medical devices, possibly an external defibrilator.

Getting a mating connector may be possible, but this is part of an expensive piece of equipment, so finding them as scrap or cheap is not very likely. Also possible these cells are not designed for continuous output of any kind, but very short-term burst usage.

Also the connectors, while of good quality, are not meant for exposure to the elements or severe vibrations or impact shock.

There are also possible indicators these are lifepo4 cells, which has both good and bad points, specifically require a different charging routine and equipment.

It's a battery module used in a battery pack for an HP R12000 Directflow UPS.
This says the batteries are lithium-ion phosphate:

Connector, pinout info will probably be tough to find.
