Hart 20V Power Tool Pin-Out

The photo below shows the interface pins on the HART 20-Volt Cordless Dual Function Digital Inflator. The tool uses three pins.

First question is... Does the power tool use the middle horizontal pin? To find out, we insulated it with a piece of paper as you can see in the photo below:

When we did that, the tool won't turn on. So the Hart 20V power tool does use this third pin. The second question is... how do we trick it so that any 20V battery pack can be used on the Hart 20V power tool?
