Identify the connections on a cordless tool battery

Im trying to Identify the connections on a cordless tool battery. Not for any real reason, just curious why so many contacts are needed.



Its a 18v Hitachi battery from a cordless drill. Batt # BCL 1815



There are 7 contacts. One is not used. The 6 which are used are labeled as such.


  1. +
  2. -
  3. T
  4. LS
  5. LE
  6. L+

The + and - are obvious.



But what are the others for?

best guess is +/- is the battery output, T is a temperature sensor (NTC to -)
