Hi @misterm86164, Just wondering why you wanted only the one post above by rjschultz1 removed as spam or offensive and not the others as well? ifixit Moderator
The 3rd wire from a battery is usually connected to a thermistor attached to the battery which signals the temperature (resistance value changes with temp) to the battery management circuit in the motherboard.
Charging will be halted to if it got too hot before being fully charged, which may create problems e.g. a fire
If leaving the 3rd wire disconnected, the battery should not be left unsupervised whilst it is charging
