Discharging a lithium-ion battery, what is the third wire fo

[John Doe]

I have some Bosch BAT411 lithium-ion 10.8 V batteries. One of the
tools is a flashlight. It includes a small circuit board between
the battery and the light bulb. The battery plug has three wires.
I realize that lithium-ion batteries use regulation when charging,
but what is the third contact for when the battery is being used?

Thanks.

With a LIon battery it's likely an HDQ interface port.

No, if you're giving an explanation, then you should have given an

explanation.

You didn't, you assumed the original poster would know what you meant,
even though by his question chances are good that he won't. And you
assumed other people would know what you meant, but no, it's not clear.

Yes, we can all grasp that you are suggesting it's some sort of interface,
but that's as far as it goes.

If you didn't want to spell it out, then you might as well have just said
"do a websearch" and not said anything about what it might be.

Actually I did do some research, Jack. I found that your acronym

No, if you're giving an explanation, then you should have given an

I gave enough explanation that any idiot could find the information
they needed if it was at all applicable. The jerk gave no real
information so anything is possible.

You didn't, you assumed the original poster would know what you meant,
even though by his question chances are good that he won't. And you
assumed other people would know what you meant, but no, it's not clear.

He obviously doesn't even know how to do a Google search, yet is an
ingrate who believes that the world somehow owes him something.

Yes, we can all grasp that you are suggesting it's some sort of interface,
but that's as far as it goes.

Did you try a search? It took me all of thirty seconds to find what I
needed when I had to design an HDQ master, with nothing more than I
gave earlier.

If you didn't want to spell it out, then you might as well have just said
"do a websearch" and not said anything about what it might be.

I gave him (or anyone) all the tools they need to investigate the
possibilities. Had the asshole simply asked for further help I might
have looked it up again. OTOH, he has demonstrated that he is too
lazy to help himself and insults those who might assist. He can
remain ignorant, forever, for all I care.

It's not smart to piss off those who can help. No, I have no
intention of helping the asshole further.

First hit on Google for HDQ interface tells you. JFGI.

In other words, you do not know either...

The only chip in the small circuit between the battery and the
light bulb is a voltage reference (TL431 I think). So the output
of that third pin is not some streaming data signal. It must be
either a simple voltage level or a digital 1/0.

Here is the first paragraph from the first "HDQ interface" hit
on Google.

TI: HDQ communication basics This report compares the
communication timing specifications for the different battery gas
gauge and battery monitor products. It discusses some of the
interface requirements necessary for robust HDQ communication,
such as the need for a break prior to each communication, how to
reliably read 16bit dynamic values over the 8bit bus, and the need
for some noise filtering on the HDQ line. It also discusses the
firmware strategy required for implementing the HDQ interface
using a discrete I/O port and describes the popular option of
using a UART to handle the HDQ bit timing requirement...

I have some Bosch BAT411 lithium-ion 10.8 V batteries. One of the
tools is a flashlight. It includes a small circuit board between
the battery and the light bulb. The battery plug has three wires.
I realize that lithium-ion batteries use regulation when charging,
but what is the third contact for when the battery is being used?

You didn't, you assumed the original poster would know what you
meant, even though by his question chances are good that he
won't. And you assumed other people would know what you meant,
but no, it's not clear.

He obviously doesn't even know how to do a Google search, yet is
an ingrate who believes that the world somehow owes him
something.

Jack expects everyone to eat the garbage that he feeds them,
without question.

Yes, we can all grasp that you are suggesting it's some sort of
interface, but that's as far as it goes.

Did you try a search? It took me all of thirty seconds to find
what I needed when I had to design an HDQ master, with nothing
more than I gave earlier.

So you think that an "HDQ master" goes between a battery and a
flashlight bulb, Jack?

If you didn't want to spell it out, then you might as well have
just said "do a websearch" and not said anything about what it
might be.

I gave him (or anyone) all the tools they need to investigate
the possibilities.

The possibilities of an "HDQ master" going between a flashlight
battery and a flashlight bulb, Jack?

Had the asshole simply asked for further help I might have
looked it up again.

So you got the impression that I did not want you to expand
further effort on the cause... Very good!

OTOH, he has demonstrated that he is too lazy to help himself

Apparently no one here knows what it is. To me, that is a
testament to the idea/fact that laziness is not the problem.

and insults those who might assist. He can remain ignorant,
forever, for all I care.

I do not eat junk food, Jack.

It's not smart to piss off those who can help. No, I have no
intention of helping the asshole further.
