Infinite time power storage?

[SilenceKiller99]

Hi all!

I don't know if this has been noticed before, I apologise if it is. But I just found out that a disabled batery has no decay of the power inside. So you could technically store your power for infinite time.

Is this intended?

Batteries never lose power over time even when enabled so it's intended.

Literally copied from the wiki:

The Battery is used to store extra power that your duplicants create. It must be tied via power wires to run. It uses power when no duplicants/machines produce power until it runs out of stored power. The power in the battery slowly dissipates when not in use. Can store more power than the Tiny Battery.

That's a copy of the battery's in-game description. It is not accurate.

So power in battery's doesn't decay overtime?

No it does not. Charge one with no consumers and wait a few cycles to see. It's currently a description bug. Either they fix the text error or actually make it lose charge over time. 50/50 coin toss for me on that one.
