Black+Decker 20V MAX Power Tool Pin-Out

The photo below shows the pin on the Black+Decker 20V MAX Cordless Garden Cultivator LGC120:

As you can see from the photo above, the cultivator only uses three out of the four pins. In order to figure out how the tool operates with the battery, we ripped up a piece of paper to cover the middle pin that the power tool interfaces to as shown in photo below.

We discovered that the cultivator will not operate with that pin insulated. We measured the resistance of that pin to the negative terminal and found the resistance is 10000 ohms, or 10 kilo-ohms.
