My idea was to use the IFI supplied charger for that battery, instead of the battery itself (hook up the charger output to the BackupBatt RC Input). I measured the charger outputs- 8.0v @ 750mA -just like the backup battery itself.
My question - is that idea safe (for experimental use of course)? Any chance it might screw up the camera or the RC itself?
any feedback would be greatly appreciated
thanks

we did that on our team, and found out the camera didnt work properly, we couldnt do anything in labview, it kept shorting out i guess you could say. at first we didnt know what the problem was, so we called the guy who invented the camera because we thought they sent us a defective one, but it was just that we needed to use the battery, and couldnt use the charger
