I've adapted a few chargers to use my DIY Charge adapter mentioned above by cutting the cable of the proprietary charger somewhere between it and the battery and soldering in a male and female of something more standard like an XLR or XT60. Then matching any other charger with the same.
Curious... take a look at the charger cable itself and see if the conductor count is printed on it. Usually in the same sentence as the AWG
My proprietary Zen battery has a similar but different 3 pin connector...
... but on inspection the cable is only a 2 conductor (2C) so the 3rd pin does nothing.
Same goes for the XLR chargers I've come across. So some of the information above is incorrect... at least in eBike applications
If using an XLR this is the correct Pin Out for a charger. The illustration given above is for audio applications.
Pin 1: Positive
Pin 2: Negative
Pin 3: n/a
The wires are typically 16awg or smaller... so the soldering is pretty easy. If you don't have any soldering skills, any electronics repair shop can
