Which laptop battery pins are used for charging?

[Klevjetack]

I have a laptop battery and I am curious on which of the pins are responsible for charging the battery and which ones are responsible for outputting power to your computer. Are there any websites that I can use to find this information or manuals that will tell me?

check the laptop schematics,
the 2 big terminals are both for output and charging,
BUT
the other pins are serial communication to a microcontroller in the pack that does the "guage" funcftion but may also allow/block charging

Do you think that if I directly applied power to two of the pins that it would charge the laptop battery?

maybe - you will know if you monitor the current

Okay I will give it a try thank you for the responses.
