Hi.
A Hoover brand 18V battery pack with 5 cells has three terminals. (+), (-) and (C)
How to learn what signal this particular 'C' battery pack contact expects to enter into charging mode ? The pack uses a microcontrolled management circuitry in it.
For sure signal is not needed at 'C' to discharge the battery. It powers the load fine with nothing connected to 'C'
----> **broken link removed**
Am using this orphan pack for another application and do not have the charger. When applying 24V to (+) and (-) and jumping 'C' to (+) ; cells charge fine for 3 seconds, slowly raising voltage. Repeatedly jumping, they keep rising (charging) fine. Could the pack expect a pulsing signal to terminal 'C' ? Anyone knows ?
