Reuse cellphone battery for robotics (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi, I found an old cellphone battery (from a Pixel3A phone) and I'd like to reuse it for my robotics experiments. (link to images: https://imgur.com/a/Oj09tai)

2 questions:

  1. how can I trasform the output connection to a more "standard" output connection (ideally V+ and V- wires)
  2. how could I recharge the battery?

Any safety concerns, other than don't poke it? :D

youll need to probe and do some testing to determine which terminal is which, the battery/phone might have a part number you can reference.

you'll need a basic battery controller so you can charge and discharge safely
