Re: Custom Chargers for backup battery

Do the backup battery chargers provided in the KIT have overcharge prevention?

Is it possible, for just PRACTICE/TEST purposes, to drive the 5V form the D I/O or the Analog straight to the backup battery connection slot so that we can get 5V out of the PWM pins? I don't see problem with this since there is not voltage regulators on the PWM lines(I know its custom circuitry but the backup battery circuity has just as much chance of failure, since individuals build it) The backup batteries are a pain when you are trying to play with the camera.
