Realistic Batteries Mod

This mod rebalances batteries to be more expensive, 99% efficient and fixes the small grid batteries to actually be proportionally as effective as how many power cells they take
Batteries start at 0% charge and you can grind them safely without getting scrap
This is the beta version and it will be improved with capacitors and other stuff


How's the math done?
A large battery has 80 power cells and has 80% efficiency, we can assume the batteries are being overloaded, and that's why they lose 20% of their energy as heat
In my rebalance the large battery has 100 power cells and works at 80% load, (the stats are identical to the regular battery) and so only 1% of energy is lost
And now, the small grid batteries have stats that are proportional to their number of power cells, if we use the large battery as model. (Power cells are modular and fully scalable, so it must be proportional
The small small grid battery has 2 power cells, and the large small grid battery is 9x2, so it could fit 18 small batts, and so it requires 36 power cells, so now the entire battery tree is consistent, buffing the extremely underpowered small batts


Why did you do this mod?
I find absurd that you cannot remove a battery after you have placed it (this literally ruins survival), i also find absurd that batteries are 80% efficient in some dystopian future where jump drives exist (and where reactors are extremely overpowered and don't need any ramp up time), and obviously that batteries magically hold 30% of energy on creation

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To do:

1 Update warfare 2 batteries

2 Jump drives should work as capacitors and will take as much energy as you can supply them, being able to be charged in seconds

3 Create capacitors with 40-50% efficiency but able to dump all their energy at once (Jump drives are able to output their entire charge instantly, so it could be a modified jump drive that instead just puts the energy back into the grid, it could then be downsized in cost and performance to fit the needs of your ship

4 Powerkits that can be crafted and refilled in the assembler and are used automatically with the same behavior as hydrogen/oxygen tanks
