Hello,
I tried google to find it but unable so im post here in the hope someone might know or found a battery connector. I'm looking for a connector that will fit into the Portenta battery connector, the portenta documentation says its a BM03B ACHSS GAN TF? What do i need to search to find the male version? or has any got any links to the male version that plugs into the Portenta. I have a lithium battery, i was hoping to pick a few connectors that already come soldered on.
A quick google search finds lots of hits for this connector part number. The image on the Farnell UK website looks like this:
Is this what you are looking for or the mating half?
I see pins so I assume that this is the male part .....
It's the male version. The female version is what's attached to the portents.
Looks like Digi-Key may have it:

Thanks, which one inparticular from Digi-key, this one looks the most likely but its not spelled out its the male version of BM03B ACHSS GAN TF?
I just noticed that Sparkfun have a JST Jumper 3 Wire Assembly that's 6in long. They say: "This is a simple three wire cable. Great for jumping from board to board or just about anything else. There is a 3-pin JST connector on one end, bare cable on the opposite end. It also comes with the mating connector for the JST."
I'm not sure that this is the same part that you require as the drawing on their website has a different part number, but it might be worth getting in touch with them just in case.
check the kind of hobby shop that specializes in RC cars, planes, et cetera
@markd833 why do you think that product might be what OP wants? Pretty sure that's just a JST-XH (2.5mm) connector. I give sparkfun an F on that product listing though - they're a real company. Even the chinese randos on aliexpress manage to specify which of the hundreds of mutually incompatible JST connectors they're selling...
That connector would be quite unusual for any type of hobby use, only place I've seen anything close to that style connector is in fairly modern laptop computers. Note that in the Digi-Key reference the connector shell appears to be sold separately from the crimp pins.
Indeed - it's rather rude of Arduino to use such a whackjob connector....
It would help if the store page gave more information than

I purchased this very same connector last year to wire up a 3000 mAH 3.7V LiPo battery by GlobTek Inc.
While it worked, I wouldn't recommend doing so unless you have access to a 3D printer and you can print out a support sleeve for the Portenta which can accommodate the battery in some sort of holder at a fixed distance from the board. Any meaningful battery size is (in my experience) too heavy for the connector to support. It simply comes off easily, as everyone would expect from the size of the connector!
