Uses

  • Power Throughput Rate: 3 U/s
  • Power Capacity: 256 U
  • The Medium Battery has 16 visible columns, each of which is equivalent to 16 Units.

Like the Icon Small Battery Small Battery, Medium Batteries accumulate power when production of energy exceeds demand for energy. The Medium Battery will give away its stored energy whenever the network doesn't produce enough energy.

Additional Information

  • Lacking visible horizontal lines to mark individual 'bars' like a Small Battery would, each of the vertical 16 columns is effectively four bars on a Icon Small Battery Small Battery.
  • A Medium Battery's charge and discharge rates are both exactly 3U/s, 50% more than the same lithium used to construct Small Batteries would have made at 1U/s each.
  • Accounting for size efficiency, it could ostensibly be useful in some situations to fill a Icon Medium Storage Medium Storage with Small Batteries if throughput is more important than absolute storage capacity.
  • Medium Batteries used to be able to be found deep in caves at the end of tunnels rarely.
