Re: Back up battery
You can use a different battery, as long as it matches the same specs as the FIRST provided one.

Re: Back up battery
From what i saw on the First Q&A any 7.2 volt nicad battery pack is allowed, but u cannot make your own battery pack to use for this purpose.
"Q: The RC backup battery has to be yellow? A: No. Use the Edubot or any 7.2V NiCad battery. See R39." "Q: Can we use a battery pack that we assembled ourselves, using 6 AA NiMH cells? They have the same voltage (1.2V x 6) as NiCad cells, but more capacity (1600AH) and no memory effect. A: No. See R39." |

You can buy the connector from Innovation First for $3.50, if you already have the battery pack. |
