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

I would try and find a pinout for the specific battery. The connections will include V+ and V- and then some others like batt temp, and some other diagnostics stuff. I'm not intimately familiar with newer phone batteries, you may or may not be able to get the battery to charge if you dont have the right circuitry
