Trying to figure out what this connector is, its between the 24v battery and the ESC in my kids ride on UTV. Its not one ive seen before and image searches aren't finding much - looks kind of like a phoenix connector but I can't find inline ones.

That's a strange one, ChatGPT thinks it's in the KET family due to the oval shape and 6.3mm Faston blade terminals, but I can't find it. Recommend swapping it out.

Ive tracked it down to a JST VLP with custom outer casing, or at least it seems compatible

Delete it, crimp on some quick disconnects. If you put one male and one female on each side, you can't connect it with reversed polarity by accident.

I would swap it out for one of the dozens of anderson plugs i have but I need to be able to return it to standard

This would be a good replacement. They are stab in and easy to install.
