Jump Start RC w/o Exide 12v battery
Just a piece of info.

You can run the OI/RC combo off just the 7.2v backup battery w/o the full-sized 12v battery attached. It's handy for testing purposes.

Hook everything up via tether or radio and just touch a regular 9v battery to the 12v terminals. The RC will start right up and run off the backup battery for 3.5 minutes, before automatically shuting down. Just do it again to restart it.
You can shut it down yourself by pressing the RC reset.
