Re: charging backup battery

I think chargers are a little bit different than just giving it some juice from something like a power supply. But I could be wrong. You should be able to find a charger at your local hobby store since nearly all RC cars and some RC planes use 7.2V batteries. You will most likely have to switch the plug on the charger or make an adapter or something. If you have a little time, you may check www.towerhobbies.com for chargers or by a replacement charger from Innovation FIRST
