Not sure what you mean here, but panel connector means attaches to a through hole.
The above suggestion is not really a panel connector but the plastic
shells do have versions you can lock one to another
and to other things surrounding a pair of them.  Would it be good enough if  you made
a rain proof cover to go over the downward facing pair of contacts
that are on the side of the battery box?  Since you say not need immersible water tight...
