Default Female Bullet Connectors to Deans?

I have a pair of 4mm male bullet connectors on my ESC. Would like to leave them there, but have a new battery with a deans connector. Looking around online, I cant find an adapter. Any recommendations? Thx!

I was once in a similar predicament so I made a connector myself using a male Deans plug and a pair of female bullet connectors. One day I wasn't paying attention when unplugging the battery and when I unplugged the bullets from the ESC the female bullets came into contact with one another. Usually, two females coming together can be nice, but this time it was a little scary. It was only a brief spark and didn't cause any damage, but it scared the heck out of me. I think the fact that this can easily happen is why there may not be too many commercially available options.

I soldered my female bullets right to the back of the Deans. There's not much room so be careful that you leave enough there. I soldered them at a slight angle too. I also shrink wrapped them to make sure they don't touch. Adding short wires to this method would work too but then more resistance.

Get Dean's Male Pigtails and solder bullet connector if you cant find the ones you want. Or just solder Male Dean's connector to your ESC.
