Backup Battery Charging Circuit
I have a question from the electrical team:

They built the custom circuit needed to charge the backup battery using the main 12V battery (found here). The output voltage to the RC is 8.8V instead of 7.2V. Is it still safe to connect the circuit to the RC? If not, what do you suggest we do? (we used the exact parts that are written in the diagram).
BTW, the output to the battery is 9V instead of 8.7, so we assume that's OK.

Thanks in advance,
