I can confirm that a servo won't work at all if the backup battery isn't present, like you said in your original post.

Can you post your user_routines.c where you've made the relay LED turn green with the trigger switch? If there's nothing wrong with your code, then there's got to be a problem with the communications between the RC and the OI.
