*To* the SIM, or *from* the SIM? Remember: you can put that SIM into
any other phone, and it'll at least be able to read it. There are
even dedicated devices to copy SIM contents directly from card to
card. Not cheap at first sight, but a damn sight cheaper than the
damage a mis-charged Li-Ion accu can do.

And operating the phone with the broken accu and the charger both
connected doesn't suffice?

Honestly, I'd say your best bet is a phone shop. They're usually
quite helpful, and odds they have a replacement accu or other means to
get you the data out of that phone (data cable to PC, e.g.).
