And if it does turn out to be the state of the backup battery, consider the charging circuit from IFI--that way you make sure you are running off of a full charge when you need to shift.
generally how long does a backup battery last? we waont be able to make the circuit in time, also, what is the best method of charging the batteries? i know you can just leave them on the charger for an extended period of time.
