The chicklet comes with a solder-on 2.1mm coax connector for the backup battery. It is not too difficult to make a backup battery (2 pin molex) to 2.1mm converter out of the IFI backup battery adapter used on the RC. You can buy the adapter for $2.50 on IFI's website, use an old one, or make one if you have the parts & tools.

There should be no need to splice backup battery wires and existing 2.1mm coax connectors. It would be difficult to charge a backup battery with a coax connector.
