What connector is this?

[Matt19891947]

Got this classic army m249 a few months ago and just checked the battery connector to find this?
Any idea what it is? And why did it exist?

Looks like a micro deans, but I don't know why anyone would choose to use that over mini/regular deans/xt30. Unless space was *really* tight

Might just be a regular deans, & the OP has MAHOOSIVE mitts

It is indeed a micro deans, but why would anyone use one as the battery connector in a CA M249? There should be plenty of room for a larger one.

Haha. Thanks guys. That’s what I was thinking. I have a top M60 std i got from the same chap and it’s also that connector.
Is there anyway I can get a adapter to deans or Tamiya for it as I’m no good at re wiring

Surely you can just remove the current mini deans and resolder a normal sized deans adapter to it?

Fella probably didn't want people asking him for batteries lmao, quick resolder to deans and it should be golden

The previous owner maybe used an RC battery?
