Hyper Tough 20V MAX Power Tool Pin-Out

The Hyper Tough 20V MAX power tool interfaces with the +, T, and - terminals on the battery. But when we masked out the T terminal on the Hyper Tough 20V Max 8" 2.0Ah 20V Battery Powered Cordless Pole Saw, we have found that the pole saw still operated.

This means that it will be really easy to interface any other brand's 18V/20V lithium ion battery pack with Hyper Tough power tools.
