Hi, thanks for the question. I added another picture and put some information in the introduction.

lfsaw - Contestar

Yes, a simple JST plug (probably type ACH)

Tobias Isakeit -

Thanks for posting these instructions! I'm having trouble finding a battery that matches the one in the picture (unless I want to buy 1000 of them from Alibaba). Would this work?
