It might be like the batteries that come with portable drills and the like. These have built-in BMS which prevent over-discharge, but also manage charging. The ones I'm slightly familiar with have two terminals for charging, T1 and T2; yours seems to have only one.

You might get some clues from this topic in an EV forum:

So you might just have to drag the non-discharge terminal towards one or the other (use a resistor to limit current, start with 100 kΩ and work down to maybe 1 kΩ), or you might have to send data. If the latter, you're likely to have to just pull it apart and re-use just the cells. If the former, you could rig up a special plug for charging.
