Plan the Whole Electrical System

Battery demand depends on how often a machine runs and how much work it performs. Test the build with a small supply, then size storage for the actual job instead of filling every container.

Storage Habit

  • Separate normal Batteries from story-related power items.
  • Keep a reserve for recovery tools and essential transport.
  • Label electrical storage near the machine that consumes it.
