Battery Cell Charger

Overview

Battery Cell Charger (StructureBatteryCharger) in Stationeers: device, hash 1945930022, 10 W. With build steps, 8 IC10 logic values and connection diagram.

The charger has five slots for battery cells. Every cell that is not yet full is charged with up to 500 W; on top of that comes a base draw of 10 W. Power and data have separate ports.

This is how long an empty cell takes at the full 500 W (the game calculates in joules per tick of 0.5 s):

Cell	Content	Charging time
Battery Cell (Small)	36,000 J	72 ticks, 36 s
Battery Cell (Large)	288,000 J	576 ticks, just under 5 min
Battery Cell (Nuclear)	2,304,000 J	4,608 ticks, about 38 min

Plan for the load: five empty cells draw 5 · 500 + 10 = 2,510 W at the same time. On a tight network the charger alone can tip it over so that all consumers switch off – a network is only supplied when generation is greater than demand.

For IC10 every slot has the values Charge and ChargeRatio of the inserted cell, plus Occupied and OccupantHash. On switches the device, Activate shows whether it is charging right now. With lbns you can read a slot's charge level by name.

It is built in one step from the Kit (Battery Charger). For small networks there is the Battery Charger Small with two slots. More about cells and runtimes in Batteries and storage: sizes, charging, discharging, a transformer in between.

Example: address by name

Reads On, shows the value on the IC housing and writes Activate. Name the device with the labeller first; devices with the same name are addressed together.

# Battery Cell Charger address by name
define DEVICE 1945930022  # StructureBatteryCharger
define NAME HASH("Battery Cell Charger")  # name in game (labeller)
define TARGET 1  # Activate 1 = activate
alias value r0

start:
yield
lbn value DEVICE NAME On 0  # 0 = average of all with this name
bnan value start  # no device with this name
s db Setting value  # show on the housing
sbn DEVICE NAME Activate TARGET  # set value
j start
