Here are some of the sources of components that I have put together. You may 
find what you are looking for from them

Manufacturer    Subconn Inc.

I personal prefer the Subconn connectors and they are the ones used by some 
real deep manufacturers like Klein Sonar (you know 5,000-15,000' deep). I had 
Marshal connectors on a video light rig from Amphibico and only had problems 
with them. Both manufacturers will do custom work.

Powersonic is reported to be better for deep drain and recharge. EE uses
them for the wreck diving lights that only have 20-40 minutes burn time. For
long burn cave lights, EE prefers to use the YUSA or Panasonic batteries.
