These battery connectors & how do they mate?

[carlyai]

From a battery to a motor I have the connectors in the picture.

Not male or female but I guess the same color connectors slide together.

I don't know these connectors or how to install them.

Any ideas?

They look to be a type of Anderson Conector.

If you rotate one 180 degrees they should couple, blue/blue green/green (you can see the +/- align).

Yeah, they look like Anderson Powerpole connectors.

Get them on Lazada, sadly looks like no local suppliers.

Clever "genderless" design.

Thanks.

So do you just push them into each other?

I've tried with light pressure, but they don't seem to want to mate.

They should slide together (same colour) if one is flipped 180^o they will be quite a strong push.

 

Edit for better video

They're a solid connection, so will require a good push to engage (and to separate...)

Brilliant, it's all out there somewhere. 

Seem like a very good robust power connector (48 V DC).

Thanks again.

The big ones used on fork trucks and the like are very reliable and need a good pull to disconnect.

 

As with all DC connections, don't disconnect when under load!!
