Ok, everyone knows the common way fo charging the 7.2 Volt Backup Battery, taking it out and connecting it to the charger. Although while reading through the 2006 FIRST Encyclopedia (Rule Book) I noticed Rule R53 in Section 5 on page 16. It States:

The 7.2V backup battery may be charged on or off the robot. When off the robot, the battery is to be charged with the provided 7.2V backup battery charger. When mounted on the robot, the backup battery may be charged from the EX18-12 primary battery by using the custom charging circuit available from Innovation FIRST Inc. (note: IFI will provide the design for this circuit on the IFI website, however teams must obtain the parts for this circuit and assemble it themselves)

Now where is this design? I spent about a half hour looking through IFI's website.
