Yeah still a connector (x2 now) but much beefier than the standard tiny ones. The problem I found with the originals is that they are just to loose which causes arcing and overheating which then melts the connector. I took them all out and gave them a squeeze the second time it died and it was golden after that. I just didn't want to take any more chances so upgraded it all.
