Description

Kit (Battery) is used to create stationary battery cells, which can provide big and stable energy storage, or energy buffer for your power needs.

Obtaining

This item can be created in Electronics Printer and Fabricator using 20g of Gold, Copper and Steel.

Caution!

Batteries (both statinory and one in APC) can and will easily burn both standart and hevy wire!

The main point is that a battery is unlimited in power it can take or give. The only restriction is power supplied or demanded. It means that any wire network connecting any battery (or APC with battery) output and any battery input will instantly burn (it don't matter - of the same battery or not). So following rules must be followed:

1. Never shortcut any battery - no loops!
2. If your want to build cascade of batteies (ex. a stationary battery near solar panels and an APC at base power input) - separate networks with transformers.
3. Prefer a tree-like (or star-like) scheme of power supply over chain (cascades). It is better to have battery on each of separate subnets (ex. production floor and gas proccesing floor) even if you will not use its full potential.
4. Always separate electrical networks with power generation (solid generators, solar pannels and black hole generators - oh, sorry, forget about last one, it's wrong game :) ) and power consumers. Do it with batteries and APC. Rule of a thimb: input - generators only, output - consumers only.
5. Never connect solid fuel generator with battery using standart wire - use only hevy one. Battery will make generator to produce full power - 20 000 W wich is 4 times greater of that standart wire can pass trough.
6. If you are hevily rebuilding power network (espacialy very spread one) alway take out batteries from APCs or just cut the wire connecting batteries with that network (input and output) - it can save a lot of wires from burning.
