Overview[]
A Battery is a Cargo item that is used to provide Power to a spacecraft or space station. Batteries can be recharged by any modules that generates power without using batteries.
Batteries are automatically loaded into many parts and spacecraft while building, such as the Station Builder Tug and the Pod.
Note: You cannot access these from inside the assembly screen, you must launch the rocket, then switch to cargo view to move the batteries, or exchange them during rocket assembly.
TRIVIA[]
- User CreeperCom calculates that a single Battery produces 76 units of Power, discharge 0.45%/sec times power used per power generated, and recharge 0.005%/sec times power available, thus giving the Battery a capacity of 13,500
. The Battery will start to recharge if the power available is more than power generated. - It is the only cargo item available at the beginning of the game.
