When a battery is unplugged, it will discharge at a rate of 5 W. It lasts 2 days if only 295 W are drawn, and so forth.īecause the maximum power draw is infinite, a complete battery may hypothetically be depleted in a single tick of game time (instantly). It is only essential to add extra batteries to extend the time duration.įor a completely charged battery, the maximum quantity of energy provided is 600 Wd (watt-days).Ī single battery, for example, would last exactly one in-game day if exactly 595 W was drawn (taking into account the 5 W of self-discharge). It allows the battery to serve as a buffer for wind turbines and solar panels, as well as to cover arbitrary surges in power consumption, such as those induced by turret arrays and other large power consumers that are only turned on when needed.Ī battery’s power output is theoretically limitless.Ī single battery can power even a large colony that requires 30,000 W of power (but only for about 1 in-game hour if the battery is fully charged). This means that until the battery is entirely depleted, any wattage can be given. The battery functions as a power supply in the same way as any other power source in the game (for example, generators or solar panels), but each battery may offer a limitless quantity of electricity. This is not true while charging a battery to be charged, a battery must be physically connected to a powered grid.Ĭonnecting the battery to the appropriate power grid is as simple as installing it near to a generator, power conduit, switch, or another battery. By performing the reconnect action on the consumer until it is linked to the battery, a device can connect directly to a battery (or array of batteries) without the use of power conduits. Within a 6-tile radius, all power consumers can connect to batteries in the same manner they do to other power sources. If more than one battery is connected to the same power grid, all remaining charge batteries will share the power load equally, even if some will “run dry” sooner.Ī battery, like the other power-producing structures, serves as a power conduit for the two tiles it covers. The number of batteries that can be connected to a single circuit is unlimited. A completely charged battery will last 72 hours, or 3 days, if the demand is 200 watts at 1,200 watts, the battery will last 12 hours, and at 144,000 watts, it will only last 12 hours. The charge capacity of a single battery is 600 watt-days, which is 600 watts x 24 hours or 14,400 watt-hours – however the output is unlimited.
