Ixon IQ/Speed battery connector - what plug?

Can anyone tell me what type of plug is needed to connect a light to the battery? Obviously, a small DC plug, but what size?
TIA

In the absence of being able to find my charger, eyeballing the connector on the lamp housing I'm going to guess at 3.5 outer, 1.3 pin.
One of these, maybe.

A 4mm drill is a snug fit in the plastic so the connector barrel is going to be a touch smaller, the pin is more difficult but is similar to a 1mm drill.
Edit: having now found the charger in my electronics bits and bobs drawer rather than in the bike bits and bobs cupboard I can confirm the size of plug above.

Thanks. That's helpful.
I could charge the battery, but without an adapter I couldn't plug in any of my lights. But there are adapters for sale . . .
