Thinking about buying a kit for my old Cannondale Bad Boy. Nice to see the programing cable selectable in the kit. In the 2nd part of the instructions it shows battery connections. What does my cart include to connect the battery to the motor? The only thing on the underside of the tube between the headset and the BB is the front derailleur cable that will be removed during the Bafang install.
Is the kit complete?? Seems like half the connector needs to be added to the cart?? It'd be nice if it was a plug-n-seal adapter-like plug the adapter it into the Bafang motor and the other end fits the no spark battery side. - SHEESH - right after asking it dawns on me to look for the adapter.

"Luna Cycle is growing in popularity as a battery pack supplier for ebike kits. If you buy a pack from them, they already come with a female XT90-S anti-spark connector. It is traditional for ebike systems to have the female sockets on the battery side, because male pins are more vulnerable to having a metal screwdriver or some other tool accidentally touch them, shorting the battery in a huge spark, and possibly ruining your expensive pack. When they are unplugged from each other, the controller is safe, but…the battery is still dangerous, even when it’s just sitting on the bench…
This means that if you buy a Luna battery, you only need to swap-out the controllers’ male connector to an XT90. It is dangerous to work on the connector for an energized high-amp battery (great caution is required, even if you are experienced), but it is very easy and safe to swap-out the male connector on the controller of your kit, even if you’ve never done that before."
