Help! The wrong JST Connectors (and 4 2000 mAh batteries) πŸ”‹

I'm still working on my droid build, but I've discovered yet another snag. I picked up some lightweight 2000 mAh rechargeable lithium batteries but upon arrival I realize that I don't actually know what a "Micro JST 1.25 connector plug" is. ( I think this has solidified how important it is in an electronics project to research the physical pieces needed.) Is micro JST even a real thing?

The batteries seemed like they would be perfect because they are so small dimensions wise, but the connectors are not compatible with the SparkFun board.

so I need some project ideas. What actually CAN use these batteries? I'm not advanced enough to switch out the connectors so no soldering ideas.

Does anyone have a favorite lightweight rechargeable lithium battery that natively fits the ESP32 WROOM Thing Plus C? How do I figure out what specific JST connection I actually need?
