Keep the bullet connectors on the batteries!! It is also easy to obtain (or make) a charger lead with bullet connectors also. That is what I use.
The Gaui 550 was originally designed to use 2 x 2600mah 3S batteries in series. Deans connectors were what most 3S batteries had 18 months or more ago. XT60 connectors took over but they are limited to smaller batteries. The Gaui ESC had a Deans connector to connect to the dual 3S batteries.
When the configuration was changed to Turnigy 6S lipos, they arrived with 4mm bullets. Instead of ripping the Deans connector off, I made a Deans to 4mm bullet adaptor. I use that adaptor to this day as it is on the Trex500. I moved it back and forth as you can only fly one heli at a time right?
Changing the ESC connector side to 4mm bullet is the way to go. If you didn't get the right connectors from the LHS, let me know and I will bring some down for you. I have two bags of them that I got from ZeeJays. For some reason the twin connector type found on the batteries is harder to find in LHSs.
I won't be down the field until after 12.30pm though. Kid's sport in the morning.
