M5DIal Battery port #14

What connector does the M5Dial's battery port use? This would be the one inside, below the M5Stamp

I've seen speculation (https://old.reddit.com/r/M5Stack/comments/18ppxmr/what_kind_of_battery_plug_does_the_m5_dial_use/), but when I purchased JST-ZH (https://a.co/d/h6YO8UD) and JST-SH (https://a.co/d/5xiDnRJ), neither fit (one slightly too big, one slightly too small). I haven't seen it documented (http://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/M5Dial) or on their forums. I'm looking for an official, or tested answer, since all I've seen is speculation.

As JST-ZH (1.5mm) is to big and JST-SH (1mm) to small - i would guess it is a JST-GH (1.25mm) connector: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JST_connector

The above is untested and only more speculation 😁

But I'm quite confident as for example this panel also uses the JST-GH for battery: https://www.lilygo.cc/products/t-rgb (and to me it looks exactly the same)

I could have made the same speculation, which is why I'm asking for tested, confirmed, or official word on what it is before I move forward with further purchases.

If this is still of interest: The right connector is the JST-GH 1.25mm 2PIN Tested and used by myself. By the way: @M5Stack-Support: Your help here on github is needed!!! The M5Dial as a piece of hardware is great, but the documentation and the software-support really needs to be improved!!!
