[0002] Power tools (such as lithium battery tools) have been introduced in the market for many years, and there are a large number of battery packs and tools on the market.

[0003] With the transformation of the Internet to the Internet of Things (IOT), power tools may also be connected to the Internet. For example, users hope to remotely obtain the power of the battery pack through a mobile phone APP, set the speed, torque and other parameters of the power tool through the mobile phone APP, display the operating parameters of the power tool through the mobile phone APP, and obtain the battery charging status of the battery pack through the mobile phone APP when the battery pack is charging, etc.

[0004] In order to enable electric tools to be connected to the Internet, the battery pack, electric tools or chargers need to have communication functions, but the battery packs, electric tools or chargers in the prior art are not equipped with communication functions that adapt to IOT. The wired communication in the prior art requires sending and receiving two signals, that is, in order to enable the battery pack in the prior art to have communication functions, it is necessary to add two ports to the battery pack in the prior art. If two ports are added to the battery pack in the prior art, it is bound to increase the volume of the battery pack, increase the number of ports, and cannot be adapted to the electric tools or chargers in the prior art.
