There are four main types of balance connectors:
JST-XH (or Align), TP (for ThunderPower), PQ (Polyquest), and the weird ones that LRP/Nosram use.
The first three are common connectors, whilst I've never seen a Lipo, other than an LRP/Nosram one that uses the last connector.
The PQ plug is not that popular for car use and the JST-XH is the most popular.

this. It can provide 20A, at 13.8V and can be used for other things like soldering irons, which won't run on your linked item.
