I have a battery pack that came from a tire inflator, and I'm trying to figure out what kind of charger it needs. The pins on the battery pack are about 3mm apart, so I want to identify the appropriate charger head to buy. Any suggestions or tips on what to look for? Thanks!

If you can share a picture of the battery pack, that would help a lot in figuring out the charger. You can try to find the exact model by searching online, or check local stores that might carry compatible chargers.
If you’re trying to salvage, that’s great! But if you keep the budget in mind, you might also just buy a new tire inflator since they’re pretty inexpensive these days. Still, I get wanting to reuse what you have!
Honestly, if you're looking to salvage it, just get a cheap charger and rewire it to charge via USB. You'll need some basic technical skills for soldering, though. It’s doable for most people who like tinkering!
Looks like you’re dealing with an 18650 battery, which is pretty standard. It usually operates at 7.5V, just like typical AA or D batteries. You can find chargers made for 18650 batteries online.
Before you buy anything, consider how it typically charges. Did you lose the original charger, or did it just stop working? If it's just a lost charger, you might find the voltage and amp requirements online to get a replacement easily.
