Light & Motion battery/charger pinouts

This may have been answered elsewhere but I couldn't find it. Does anyone know the pinouts and expected voltages for the Light and Motion Li-ion and NiMH batteries on the multi-chem charger? My charger works great with a NiMH battery but I'm having trouble with a rebuilt Li-ion battery. I'd like to make sure it's wired correctly.

Thanks

I would really appreciate it if anyone who has a working Light & Motion lithium battery would do me a big favor and use a volt meter to measure the pin to pin voltage when it is charged and if there is no voltage difference the pin to pin resistance and post them here.

Thanks

On my L&M Li-ion Battery, there are three pins and five holes. With the battery facing me and the read alignment dot up, there are two rows. The bottom right pin appears to be ground. I measured +12V between the ground and the upper left pin and +6.5V between the ground and the lower right pin.

A
+12 O X
------X-----
+6.5 O O Ground

The dashes are to keep the formattiing correct. Hope that helps.
