Batteries automatically charge and discharge when connected to other buildings. Each battery can store 600 Wd (Watt-days) of [[power]] at once. 1 Watt-day is equal to powering a 1 W appliance for 24 hours. However, batteries have a 50% efficiency, meaning they take in only half of a grid's excess power. For example, an excess of 200 W for 24 hours will only store 100 Wd. Power is evenly divided between all connected batteries. There is no limit or penalty for power output. | Batteries automatically charge and discharge when connected to other buildings.

− | Each tile of battery will also transfer an infinite amount of power through it, as if it were a [[power conduit]]. | + | Each tile of battery will also transfer an infinite amount of power through it, as if it were a [[power conduit]]. herefore, electric appliances can connect within 6 tiles of a battery. The battery can't connect in the same way; it requires an adjacent conduit, battery, or power generator to power. A wire will appear when a valid connection is made; you may need to use the Reconnect gizmo on the appliance for it to be powered. |
Batteries lose 5 W of stored power per day, even if they aren't connected to anything or are uninstalled in their minified state. Batteries can't be turned off, but a [[power switch]] can disconnect them from other buildings. | Batteries lose 5 W of stored power per day, even if they aren't connected to anything or are uninstalled in their minified state.
