Working with Lithium-ion batteries is dangerous. Incorrectly wiring batteries can lead to fire, explosion, or severe injury. Always use appropriate protective equipment and check connections with a multimeter before connecting to a load or charger.
This comprehensive guide breaks down the physical pin layout, individual terminal functions, voltage characteristics, and safety considerations for working with Hart 20V batteries. The Hart 20V Battery Interface
Understanding the Hart 20V Battery Pinout: A Complete Guide for DIY and Modification Projects
When testing a fully charged battery with a multimeter, you can expect the following readings between pins:
The Control (C) pin is primarily used by the charger to manage the charging process. This pin acts as a "gatekeeper" for the battery. The charger likely uses the Control pin to "enable" the battery's internal Battery Management System (BMS). Once the charger determines it is safe to proceed (based on data from the ID and TH pins), it sends a signal through the C pin to the BMS, which then allows the charging current to flow into the cells. This prevents the battery from being charged by an unauthorized or potentially dangerous source.
During high-draw applications or fast charging, lithium cells heat up. The continuously reads the resistance of the internal thermistor. If the temperature exceeds 60°C (140°F), the BMS commands the tool or charger to cut off power instantly to prevent thermal runaway. Cross-Pin Shorting Warning
(Note: On some compact 2Ah packs, Pin 4 may not be present or may be physically blocked, leaving only 4 visible contacts. However, the outermost large contacts are almost always Positive and Negative.)

Hart 20V batteries utilize a proprietary block-style form factor. Unlike the slide-on rails of Dewalt or the stem-style of Black+Decker, Hart batteries usually feature a top-mounted interface with exposed contact pads.
