If it all worked with the toad battery dead, it should work with it disconnected for going home.
However, it may be that there are wires that meet on the toad's battery posts that need to be connected for it all to work, even if the battery is dead.
You can beat that by disconnecting the battery, but connect the wires that go on each of its two posts together with two vice grips or some way (nut and bolt), so there is still a pos and a neg "path" for what's needed.
No need to drain the new battery if you do that. ?
