Better be careful with that. It is a violation of Rule <R56> to use any circuit other that the one specified by IFI to charge the back-up battery (last year it would have been a violation of 2006 Rule <R53>). As of Team Update #13, you can use alternate chargers to charge the battery off-board of the robot. But you only have one option for on-board charging.
