Mini connectors suck, really, they will add a whole pile of resistance to the circuit especially with a large battery. Carl/Madmax made a great little tutorial here that explains it more. In the end there are only two connectors you should be using with large packs, large connectors and deans. The connectors themselves are available at R/C car shops and other electronic stores, you don't even need soldering skills.

Adding a mini connector to large wires may not be possible because of the size of the wires but thats a good thing because if the wires are that large it means theres going to be a lot of current which a mini connector can't handle well.

The connectors required can be bought (get mine from eBay) for a few dollars for 10 packs, most places that sell premade adapters charge up to $15 each when they arent worth anywhere near that.
