I need to replace the battery connector on a old timer based nicad charger.
Are there any higher quality, easier to attach Tamiya connectors?
Or is this the best option?

They are just Molex connectors. I buy mine in bulk from Amazon. If you have the correct tools, they are easy to crimp.
I use these dies in my ratchet crimper.

No.
I have used a few different ones (probably from the same factory) and they are all the same.

None seem any different than any other Molex type connector that I've used. I've used several multi-pin versions in wiring harnesses.
They are a old design and amperage limited. But when used within their design specs, they work fine.
