Default spc jumper

I am moving one of my Optima 7's from a plane with a two battery setup to another airplane with one battery. unfortunately I am unable to find the jumper for the SPC port. Can I make one or do I need to order one?

A.T. Thank you for your response. Sorry it has taken so long to reply back.
Ok If I understand correctly all I have to do is use a Futaba mail plug and go from the center (+) to the side with the tab (signal) to make a DIY SPC plug.
DO I need to use a specific wire gage or length for resistance?

Easiest to use a Futaba battery lead & plug. e.g Futaba Rx Battery lead
Gently lift he plastic retainer, slide black lead pin out and reinsert into position shown.
Clip wires short and solder together. Insulate solder joint with amalgamating tape or similar.
