I also found some old Nokia 5120's for $0.75 a piece and I found a link that could give some people who may want to know this some help.
http://serdisplib.sourceforge.net/ser/pcd8544.html
I also got a hold a bunch of Li-ion batteries... but I have a few question on using these batteries. There is 4 connections on the batteries, obviously 2 are labeled "V-" and "V+", but there are 2 others labeled "ID" and "T", and I have no idea what they may mean. Any help here?

this is a guess, but don't most lipo batteries have built in protection circuits?
t may be a temp monitor?

That would make sense. So then pretty much for charging it's positve to positive on the charger, and same for the negative? And I still have one labeled "ID", could it be a bsttery level detection circuit?

Well I have a booklet from Microchip that gives a simple circuit to connect to an MCU to show battery levels, but it takes up extra space. So I may have to do some investigating now, get some tools, and open one up to get a schematic made up of the circuit. Thanks for the intuitive ideas SmAsH.
