Batteries Drop Powercells

Description
This is a very simple mod that changes the vanilla batteries.
It has two effects:
- Batteries will drop all of their powercells when grinded
- Batteries will have zero power when initially made

I made this because i was frustrated that if i wanted to move a battery, i'd need to make a lot of powercells again! This mod relieves that frustration without adding exploit. Just know that you'll need something to charge your batteries outright!

Share with your friends ye? Thanks <3

Feel free to leave suggestions,
Let me know what you think too!

Planned future features:
Batteries start with power, and instead drop a percentage of their powercells.

@Lumen That's a good Idea

Any way to make it so the battery bank is a storage and you can insert batteries to be used? Similar to O2 & H2 tanks?

@Valen - it works fine - some things have not changed much for years, and as the author says it is a simple (but awesome) mod - it simply modifies the block definitions for the batteries, and includes all 3 vanilla battery types- so you are good to go! :-)

We're 1.5 years since the last update. Is it still compatible with the latest game versions?

Any chance of a version of this mod featuring the batteries of this one?

Love the mod and never play without it but LWTS batteries require even more resources making moving them an even bigger pain. Thanks for the already great mod, and hopefully you can help me out, either way its all good.

hey - really great mod - i actually just made my own version coz i hadn't found this one (i think because i was initially looking for the zero charge effect and didn't see the little bit of relevant text in the thumbnail!) - but it is the perfect solution in my mind, since the power cells should be salvageable but you shouldn't be able to get free power by simply building a battery

anyway - great mod!
