Power on a Droid 2 without a battery?

Hey guy, got a Droid 2 in the mail today, without battery. I was wanting to know if there is anyway to run the phone without the battery? I have a spare Nexus S battery, would that work if i hooked wires up to it? I just dont wanna short circut the system.
The battery is coming thursday (2days) but i dont wanna wait. Also yes, i have a micro usb charger but if i hook that up to the phone then all i get is a battery symbol with a question mark inside, wont let me do anything else.
