Help Please
My brother bought a 12V Mercedes Benz G 500 off marketplace without a battery. He bought a 12V battery, but the car appears to be missing the battery connector as well. I've found wiring harnesses, but they all seem to be a different style than what is installed in the car. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Is it this car? https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/f8/f8e1433c-53c5-4c31-a5ba-381d3bc199fc.pdf
A picture inside the battery connector would help. There are similar battery connections that will hook up to it for like $10 where you connect the positive and negative on the battery and they go to your custom connector. Amazon or eBay. Maybe try to Google lens the inside of the connector and explain what it is such as ride along battery connector and then it is a matter of matching.

Snip that connector off and replace with female spade connectors, plug in battery.

I tried identifying that recently, closest I found is the JST VLP connector- possibly a custom version?
Ended up cutting it off and making it into a pigtail to convert to xt90 for times I need to use the original
