I've been looking at this most of the day, I'm still confused and have a headache now. So I'm hoping someone will relieve my pain and help me out.
I have a TRX4 on the way. I don't want to use the TRX4 batteries. The charger I like is the Spektrum RC S2100, which uses EC3/IC3. The connector I want to use is the XT60.
My problem is I have too many connectors and I confused about gender. . . The connector gender, not mine to be clear.

From what I can tell they Spektrum charger has a female EC3 connector. A battery has an XT60 male connector.
So to accomplish my task I need a
