Pins on the m8 accu?

Anyone got an idea about the pin-layout on the m8 accus?

 

The m8 has 4 busy pins on the accu:

Pin 1: temp sensor

Pin 2: VCC

Pin 4: ?

Pin 6: GND

 

How does the temp senor pin work and what´s the sense of pin 4 - maybe a way to read out the charge counter?

 

Am i right, that the accu is a 1 cell LiIon accu (3,7v/750mAh)? Then a diy charger via - fe. maxim 1555 - should be quite simple.

As far as I remember, pin 4 simply isn't used during the charging : can be it has a role in the communication from battery to camera charging indicator, but I am not sure;

a forum member did build a diy charger and used just 3 contact points :

(in which you find also the answer about the "Temperature" pin)
