Hello all.
Recently, I have regenerated some screwdriver batteries. Everything was fine until my brother needed a battery for the old Makita - a 7000 type whip. After dismantling, a problem appeared. Well, this battery (ni-cd) has a third "pole", with which I have not met so far. It looks like an additional minus, a bit specific, on the side of the uninsulated housing of the last cell. I believe that the last cell contains an overcharging and short-circuit protection system - which results from the technical data of the battery. My problem is whether by installing a new set of two li-ion batteries (3.2v) and using PCM to derive a minus on the "third"
pole"????
