Battery Rack

The Battery Rack allows power from portable devices, such as the RTG Energy Cell, to be routed into RF power networks. (An item that implements the IEnergyContainerItem interface is supported.)

The power gauge on the left of the GUI display reflects the energy status of the power cell placed in the input slot as the Battery Rack does not have any internal power storage.

The amount of power transmitted by the Battery Rack is dependent upon the power source in the input slot. By default the power transfer amount for is capped at 80RF/t. This cap can be adjusted by changing the configuration settings within the config file:

batteryrack {
    # Maximum RF per tick to transfer from the installed energy container [range: 0 ~ 2147483647, default: 80]
    I:"RF Transfer per Tick"=80
}

Power cables can only connect to the back, top, and bottom of the Battery Rack; cables will not attach to the sides or front of the machine. Power is serviced to the back connection first, then top, then bottom. It is possible that a given side will receive the entire RF/t amount meaning that the other connections will not receive any power. The Battery Rack will have special texture overlays indicating the connection points on the block.

Other devices that can be inserted into the Battery Rack are:

• Thermal Expansion energy cells and capacitors
• Restone Arsenal powered tools, weapons and armor
• EnderIO Capacitor Banks and Empowered Dark Steel armor
