Eco Power Bank/Gear Balm can store more than the actual weight when stored in the storage bin.

I believe that's the behaviour for everything that is considered "one" of something.  A storage bin of 4kg can hold 8kg of pip eggs for example - 4 eggs total, they're 2kg each.

Yep. But not consistency. When originally loading a compactor, it does one for each kg configured. But it does _not_ refill, there it seems to use the real weight.

That is really annoying.

Yeah, played around with it some. When the storage checks if it needs to generate store errands, it uses the "real" weight, but when processing the errand that is generated it gets funky. It doesn't account for per-item weight when calculating how much is needed for the gap to fill.

From a clean storage, if you set it to store 1 KG of power bank, the errand will generate that 1 is needed, and it's delivered, leaving you with 1 in the container. If you then up it to 2, nothing happens, because the container isn't under weight so won't generate an errand.  If you then up it to 21, then a dupe will grab 1 power bank, and properly know that 20+20 > 20, and will store a second (leaving the container with 40, but that's ok because 21 is more than one and partial capacity rounds up.).

If you keep bumping it up by increments of 20 (61, 81, 101, 121) then dupes will still only grab 1, and it always works properly.

The issue is that if the errand needs more than 1 KG to fill, then they grab 1 per remaining needed kilogram.  If they run into their carry capacity before filling this crazy 20 times size order, they'll deliver, and may end up putting the container over limit, which makes it cut off.  But for really high capacity dupes, or if multiple are filling the order at once, it can get pretty crazy.

It looks like something in the routine to calculate how many items are needed for the errand needs to account for the weight.
