My 2015 came wired from the factory with that connector. If yours is the same as the sled in this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tkvkaqDs8k at the the 4:50 mark you will need what ( I think) is a tyco amp connector. Not 100% sure on that, BRP is not in business to make connectors, it has to be available some where, I think you need the female side of these......

I have e-start with a lightweight battery from "ballistic battery".
This is my third season on it, ride in all sorts of cold, It has never been just dead. I can recall 3 times I have had to cycle it then it takes off, one of the times we have 4 trucks that would not start. Once started and warmed up I never have any issues with starting the rest of the day.
This year I picked up one of the little battery pack/jump starter things from costco, figured if it got really cold I would see how it works for starting my sled, I have no intention on taking it riding, just using it for the initial start if the battery decides it's to cold.

You are correct once started and electricity is moving the lithium ion batterie will work for riding all day no problem.
Cold starts on the other hand will leave you -- well cold.
Have never had one that would crank a sled at -25 or colder period most will leave you stranded at much less than that.
Once boosted all is well--if you can live with that all is well.
I rather pull while is still can , once I am a geriatric old fart I may reconsider .
One little caution do not try to crank your sled when the batterie only turns it over at slow speed where it can not start, had several guys burn out starters doing that trying to heat up the batterie. Usually that eventually works the price may be higher than expected.

Have you tried looking at the IPB for your sled with the e-start? I didn't see a solenoid but there was a starter relay. What sled did your e-start kit come off of?
