What is this connector?

[anon0973923]

I thought I was finally going to build everything today but of course I ran into a new wrench. This is the connector from my controller that will go to my LiPo battery. I glanced at it a few weeks ago and just assumed it was a bullet connector, but that is obviously not the case.

Anyone know where I can find a dean's adapter for it?

That is a trailer connector and they are junk, not suitable for ebikes(or anything other than lite bulb)s. The wires are thick, but they are very thin inside the molded connector.
Your Lipo has deans?? Are the bricks 2S or 3S.
Hobbyking, Progressive RC and EP Buddy have adapters.
I got to ask, do you have experience with Lipo?
It's not something to mess with unless you know what you are doing and your question leads me to believe that you are new to this.
At the very least, you should start reading here till you dream Lipo.
Start in the Lipo tutorial

I have 6S lipos with 5.5mm bullet connectors that are basically incompatible with everything else in my setup...parallel charging board and even my balance charger if I wanted to do one pack at a time. I have wireless 5.5mm bullet to dean's adapters at the end of each battery, which plugs into my parallel charging cable. I then have a custom series deans connector cable that runs to my controller. I don't know why the controller would come with such a poor connector. It is a 30A kit that pairs with the Aotema motor. I don't want to lop off the stock connector if I don't have to since it will void my warranty. I should also mention that I don't have a soldering iron so it would be far easier for me to find a suitable adapter.

Ok, I got the names wrong, it's EP Buddy and Progressive RC.
They are fast shippers.

You probably won't find a ready-made adapter. If you don't want to solder you can use Euro-style terminal connectors to make an adapter. Like this adapter does but without the Anderson connectors:

If you don't like the Euro terminal strip you might be able to use dogman copper crimp sleeves as shown in his article:

Thank you! I went with the euro strip route since I already had the trailer light connector to bare leads.
