That plug is for a high-voltage connection. For a battery, use the Quantum
CO3 module, which will connect with a high-voltage battery, such as the
Quantum Turbo or Turbo-Z. According to Lumedyne literature, their Cyclers
and Minicyclers use the same module. These are all expensive. If you want
something cheap, just get a 4-D-cell pack at an electronics supply store, and
wire that to the contacts in the battery compartment.
