Need to find this connector for battery and controller

[giveahoot]

Due to an overuse of winter road salt in NYC, the connectors to my battery and controller corroded. Can anyone tell me where I can find these specific connectors?

Thanks in advance!

I've never seen those before, not to say someone doesn't know, but the sea of connectors is deep and wide. https://endless-sphere.com/w/index.php/Connectors The wiki is full of useful information. You might consider seeking out other connectors as well as finding a little something to coat the new wires/connectors in, dielectric grease might be a good choice to stave the onslaught of corrosive conditions. Many connectors are made of various materials, some are likely to survive unfavorable conditions much better than others. Anderson power pole connectors are said to be plated in silver, which is probably excellent in corrosive resistance, gold is likely better but not only do I not know of gold plated connectors but I also imagine they might be a bit more costly (probably worth it though if you prefer reliability and longevity).

Thanks for the answer. I'm going to try to clean the contacts and resolder a tab for now. And I'll also contact the manufacturer and invest in dielectric grease. Thanks

I'd be tempted to solder on more wire, relocating the plug on the bike itself to under the seat, or some other much drier area. Same with the battery, find a way to have the wire extend from the battery long enough to reach the new plug location.

Then attach the plug type of your choice to connect.

You are going to be doing something like this someday anyway, when you need to actually replace the battery.

Yep. I did just this after some thought. It turned out to be a very elegant solution. Thanks to everyone for the advice. After almost a decade here, this place still rocks hard.

Looks like you got it working but I recently answered a similar question here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ebikes/comments/4c1qr5/need_help_finding_a_supplier_for_a_replacement
