Yes, the back-up battery (either the one supplied, or a permitted COTS back-up battery) must be charged with ONLY the 2007 charger or IFI-defined charger circuit, as specified in Rule <R56>.

QI'yaH!
For those of you who don't speak Klingon, that's an expression of dismay. To put it mildly. The 2007 charger doesn't indicate when the battery is fully charged, nor does it stop charging before the battery is overcharged. That settles it -- we're using the onboard charger. We'll also be pulling the breaker supplying it when the robot is not in use.
