Common uses: Bafang BBS02 and BBSHD kits and most DIY conversion batteries as the main power feed. Systems: Bafang BBS02 / BBSHD / mid drive.

The XT60 is the standard high-current discharge plug on conversion kits: two gold bullets in a keyed housing, rated to about 60 A. Bafang BBS02 uses XT60 as the default battery connection, though a BBSHD may instead use an Anderson or bullet plug, so check both ends before ordering.
