From where can I buy a battery connector because I'm having "lose contact" and sometimes my bioloid goes off when on battery and when I check the battery it is still giving 9.6v.

Thanks

Are you measuring your battery voltage under load? When the battery isn't being used it'll "recover" up to its natural voltage. Measure it when the robot is being used instead.

Otherwise have a browse through http://www.farnell.com/. The connectors used by Robotis seem to be all JST or MOLEX connectors and it should be reasonably easy to filter down to a two-pin connector and find something that looks right. Do check the pitch (distance between the pins) too, as often the connector manufacturers will make the same connector available at different pitches.

When you find it post it here, I'm sure someone will find it useful :)
