Oxidation or debris on the B+ or B- terminals can prevent power flow. Clean them with electronics cleaner.
The Hart charger monitors this pin constantly. If the pack gets too hot during rapid charging (above ~50°C/122°F), the charger halts current to prevent thermal runaway. Similarly, Hart tools will cut power if the battery overheats during heavy use. 3. The Communication / Identification Terminal ( C or D ) Location: Inner channel, next to the negative terminal.
Beyond the five external pins, Hart batteries contain internal contact points (C1, C2, C3, and C4) accessible only during teardowns. These are used for , ensuring each of the five individual lithium cells stays at roughly the same voltage (e.g., 4V, 8V, 12V, and 16V relative to the negative terminal). DIY Tips and Safety
Since your custom project won't listen to the battery's communication pins, you must install an external digital low-voltage disconnect module between the battery adapter and your device. Set the cutoff to 15.5 Volts . If the battery drops below this under load, the module will cut the circuit, saving your lithium-ion cells from permanent damage.
