Yes, I was referring to the NiCd backup battery.

Team update 13 includes a warning that the 'charger' included in the KOP is actually just a power supply and that it will overcharge the NiCd battery pack, and includes a warning not to leave the batteries unattended.

So the wording has been changed to say "a" 7.2V NiCd charger is to be used.
