You are right. I just tried it and could observe the following:

1. Voltmeter attached to red and black
2. Did the wiring as described by Y0SH1zzzx
3. Voltmeter show ~47V for 2 seconds
4. Voltage is dropping to ~31V for one second.
5. Steps 3 and 4 repeating over and over again (Voltage rises and drops again).

Why do I observe this behavior? Because there is no load attached?

How do I charge the battery? Do I keep your wiring (Y0SH1zzzx) and simply attach my charger to the red and black cable?

Sadly I no longer have the batteries so I can't check my wiring, altough it does sound like what happened to me when I wired it wrong. Doesn't hurt wiring it wrong tho also overload protection still works btw. I should've posted a photo but now the phone with the photo is broken. You should get a stable voltage when it's wired correctly and as long as there aren't shorts with plus and minus there is nothing to worry about playing around with it. Sorry wish I still had the battery to help

And yes when it's a stable voltage you can just charge it like normal

FInally I had some time to get back to this topic. You are right @Y0SH1zzzx: If the wiring is correct (connect yellow and white wire to the red positive one and green wire to the black one) I get a stable voltage at the black and red cable!

Thus, if I like to charge, I will just keep the cabling connect yellow and white wire to the red positive one and green wire to the black one) and attach my charger with a max. of 54V DC to the black and red cable and the battery should be charged, right?

Yes if it shows the stable voltage then you can safely charge with those connected at the same time, if I remember right it couldn't even charge without the still being connected with my charger because it couldn't read the correct voltage

That might be true but that other one might be for protection or something idk but I noticed that way it actually cut off when drawing too much power and you probably don't want a fire or a ruined pack, it might still work it's up for someone else to test tho
