I figure it's a small lightweight battery w/ built-in charging circuitry! Has anyone else tried this before? You can get cheap headsets on eBay for less than $10 too. Just tap into the battery, and put a switch on it. Be careful of draining the battery too low though. Lithium batteries hate being over-discharged.

The framework is made of paperclips soldered together, and is also used as the (-) negative. The blue wire is (+) positive and the resistors are underneath the black tape. Now I just gotta find a suitable camera...
