olight Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Is it the max power output limit? or battery consumes the stored power itself? The later is nonsense, because if you have one manual generator and two batteries, you can never store additional power. And the former is right, is it impossible to use one liquid pump(240w) with only one battery? I didn't test that by myself sorry. Also sorry for my bad english.

Risu Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 That would be the charge rate. As apparent by the draining of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olight Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 That is the charge rate, you mean the full charge time of one or two batteries is the same with one manual generater? edit: my bad, forgot the draining power of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamber Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Unless it changed in the last patch, that number may be misleading. This was my experiment: 1 hamster wheel + 1 battery Different circuit: 1 hamster wheel + 2 batteries. One would expect the three batteries to charge at the same rate (because they appear to have a max draw of -200w). However, the single battery will charge twice as fast as the set of two. I'm not near my computer at the moment, but later today I can rerun that test on the newest build and see if it still holds true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelder Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 -200 W = -200 J per second Green = draining power from battery White = charging battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelder Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 1 hamster wheel >> +400 W 1 liquid pump >> -240 W net 160 W >> battery when not running hamster wheel, it will drain power from battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batteries can be recharged at any speed. Also one tiny battery can supply 2000W for 5 seconds and currently batteries seems to not loose any charge over time. So that number in current version probably means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMuffins Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Battery charges from net surplus power in your grid. They're like water towers. If you have more of them but the same net surplus, then it will take longer to charge versus if you have less of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
