Duplicants fill Coal Generator when batteries are full

I'm assuming the way this is meant to work is the Duplicants fill it with 500kg of coal and it will run until it gets to 0kg of coal and then stop running and be left alone until the batteries are at the threshold.

But the way it's actually working is it's filled with 500kg of coal and immediately when it gets to 0kg the Duplicants shovel more coal into it no matter what I put as the battery threshold (currently I have it at 10%). They will fill it again even if the batteries are all above 90%.

Steps to Reproduce
Hook a coal generator up to some batteries and once it gets down to 0% the Duplicants will refill it regardless of threshold.

To add to my original post - the coal generator is first hooked up to a Power Transformer. I got rid of that and with batteries first it works the way I wanted.

Changed Status to Known Issue

Thanks for bringing this up. Due to the way the power mechanics work, a generator can't know about the batteries beyond a transformer, but we'll investigate making this behaviour more clear.
