Do NOT do that.

Here is what you need:

1 - 7.2V battery (same as the back-up battery, but you need 1 additional one for each USB chicklet you want to use).

1 - 7.2 back-up battery adapter (IFI p/n ADAPT-BATTERY-7.2)

1 - round adapter (was in the box with the USB chicklet)

2 - male quick connect spades (mates with the ends on the back-up battery adapter)

1 piece of red wire (length whatever you desire)
1 piece of black wire (approx same length as red wire)

Steps for assembly:

1 - solder red wire to inside post of round adapter
2 - solder black wire to outside (ground) post of the round adapter)
3 - on the opposite end of BOTH wires, crimp the male spade connectors (for the quick connect)
4 - attach the quick connects to the other end of the back-up battery adapter (should look similar to the attached picture)
5 - enjoy
