Backup battery will not power RC
I'm hooking up our RC to make sure everything works, and I ran up against a problem. The backup battery, despite that it's hooked up, will cause a red light on the "Backup Batt" light on the OI and, upon removing the 12V main source, it will not power the robot. I have verified with the multimeter that the battery is charged (~7.8V) and even tried a different battery. Any other things I can try before assuming that it's a broken RC?
