That battery will do just fine and will provide good flight time. The connector that comes on the battery is matched to the current it can deliver which is probably more than you need in this situation. Replacing the connector on the battery is one way to get it to work (just don't use it where more current is needed than the connector can deliver) or you could solder up an adapter to go between the two connectors so you can use the battery in higher current applications down the road.
Indeed. Cut 1 wire of your battery at a time, don't cut both + and - wire at the same time, cause your scissors will create a short.
When soldering, you should see the liquid solder flow around the pin and sinking in the hole. If it's then shiny when solidified, it should be a good solderjoint. Heat the pin (at the short end), not the solder. Then hold the solderwire against the hot pin to let it melt and flow around the pin and into the hole and on the solderpad.
The battery should be ok. You need to standardize on one type of connector for you batteries. Then nyou need to solder a new connector on one of the connections. If you change the battery connector be carefully to finish and cover one cable with shrink tube before you work on the second cable. Otherwise you may end up with a big spark and a ruined battery.
Aloha....
The battery you've selected sounds reasonable. You can change the connector by cutting off the old one and soldering on the new. Be very careful not to short the battery when doing this, you'll end up with sparks/fire and damage the battery.
