Need to find a replacement for a 5 Pin Giant charger. Do I need the other 3 pins to be active?

Featured Replies

Most charges I have used only have 2 active wires, the positive and negative that goes into the battery. This old charger actually has the + & - but also has a blue/white/yellow combo going into the charger.

Does someone know the purpose of these 3 wires? What are they communicating to the charger? Are they necessary? Can we replace this charger with a standard 42V + / - charger if we attach the old connector and just solder the +/- wires in to the new charger?

Hi did you get an answer to your question ?

Some of the Phylion/Joycube batteries with 5 pin plugs are as below. The battery may not charge with a two wire charger unless you loop 4 & 5 as below,which is not safe as you are shorting out some of the safety features .
