A ship may also recharge its battery through Connectors by drawing power from the other side while docked. The main purpose of the battery is to store and discharge power as needed. Fully Charged In - Time remaining till the battery is fully charged.ДЄlthough a newly constructed battery will have some charge already available, providing power instantly once complete.Fully Depleted In - Time remaining till the battery is depleted of stored power.Stored Power - The remaining amount of power that is stored within the battery.Current Output - The amount of power that the battery is currently providing to the grid.Current Input - The amount of power that the battery is currently drawing from the grid.Max Stored Power - Maximum amount of power that can be stored on battery.Max Required Input - Maximum amount of power the battery can receive when in recharge state.Max Output - Maximum amount of power the battery can output to the grid.The battery block may be placed anywhere and unlike Reactors does not need to connected to a Conveyor network for refueling. Or in the case of an incident, provide emergency power while repairs are made. The battery is a convenient solution to saving/reserving power, and using no fuel that reactors for example would otherwise require. However, it is now no longer possible to salvage Power Cells from a battery, any power cells will be recovered as Scrap Metal, losing a significant amount of Nickel and Silicon.

With Update 01.105, a battery, once built, already has a 30% charge, meaning it can be used immediately. It does not require any materials to be powered, and does come with a small intial charge but beyond this it must collect energy either from Solar panels, Large Reactors, and/or Small Reactors before it can be put to use (or even other batteries). The battery is a single block that has a similar function to the reactors in that it will power blocks on a grid. 2.3.3 When neither Discharge or Recharge is toggled.
