Uses

Batteries can be used as emergency backups in case raiders destroy your power plant or power line. They could also be useful when the sun goes down or in the case of an eclipse, with enough batteries, they can supply enough power to last through the night.

When connected to a power grid which produces more power than is consumed, the batteries will start charging up. Batteries charge at 50% efficiency, which means that only half of the available surplus energy counts towards charging them. Batteries need a connected power line to charge or power equipment.

Player built walls and doors will connect the batteries to the grid, apart from the standard power conduits.

When raining, uncovered batteries have a high chance of catching fire and exploding. Nearby fire, or NPC's on fire will also cause explosions.
