The Molex 51005 and 51006 connectors are very popular for high power(high discharge current) LiPo batteries.

This connector is widely used for single cell lithium-polymer ion(LiPo) batteries for RC devices, like RC planes, drones, helicopters, cars and similar. It is a polarized connector, meaning it can not be plugged in the wrong way. 

The Molex 2.0mm 2P Connector has become a popular battery connector for many RC toy manufacturers because of its easy operation (plug and unplug) and plainly visible connection orientation.
