-[[Kit (Battery)]] is used to create stationary battery cells, which can provide big and stable energy storage or energy buffer for your power needs. Its energy storage is 3.6MJ or 1kWh. Any battery slowly loses stored energy. Batteries in a vacuum drain at 50W. Batteries in atmosphere at drain at 10W at or above 0&#176;C. Below 0&#176;C, the power loss increases linearly to 50W at 1&#176;K. If the battery is in a room, the lost energy is released into the air as heat.

Any battery slowly loses stored energy. Batteries at armstrong pressure(6.3 kPa) or below drain at 50W. Batteries above armstrong pressure drain at 10W at or above 0&#176;C. Below 0&#176;C, the power loss increases linearly to 50W at 0 K and is proportional to 1 atm of pressure, to a minimum of 10 W. If the battery is in a room, the lost energy is released into the air as heat.

 Additionally it is advised to follow these rules:
 # '''Never shortcut any battery''' - no loops!
-# To build a cascade of batteries (e.g. a stationary battery near solar panels and an APC at base power input), separate networks with transformers.
+# To build a cascade of batteries (e.g. a stationary battery near solar panels and an APC at base power input), separate networks with [[transformer|transformers]].
 # Prefer a tree-like (or star-like) scheme of power supply over chain (cascades). It is better to have a battery on each of separate subnets (ex. production floor and gas processing floor), even if you will not use its full potential.
 # Always separate electrical networks with power generation (solid generators, solar panels, etc.) and power consumers. Do it with batteries and APCs. Rule of a thumb: input - generators only, output - consumers only.

-[[Kit (Battery)]] is used to create stationary battery cells, which can provide big and stable energy storage or energy buffer for your power needs. Its energy storage is 3.6MJ or 1kWh. Any battery slowly loses stored power, at 10W when at normal atmosphere and temperature, and 50W if it's in a vacuum or cold atmosphere.
