Rechargeable Battery

    I've always been slightly annoyed with how unrealistic the Battery element is, and nobody seems to have a fully operational battery saved either. I've been working on a battery that would be able to store energy indefinitely (using a loop), be able to be recharged, and actually loose its stored energy when something is connected. In other words, I want a real battery to give to the users of Powder Toy. But my design hasn't been working, because although it meets all of my criteria above, I'm having some difficulties with the switches working when the battery is close to a full charge. Here's what I have so far (I'll make a smaller one once I get this one working) LoadSaveBlock(44819);

    Please help!

    Hmmm, i've seen a couple of batteries that can charge even before 44.6

    I can't see what you mean. Hold down the "On" button it will release it's full charge.
    What is it doing?

    I made that idea for antb a while back. It was for his disposable battery.

    I'm not sure what you're asking, Neospector, but I actually just fixed it by accident haha. I started making the smaller version, and it turns out that the problem was just the width of the switches. It all flows quite nicely now. Thanks anyway, and feel free to use it!

    Oh I thought you meant a whole new element. Sorry.

    Why is that a misuse? One of my major problems before the update was trying to wire it so that nothing would cross. I don't think it's possible to do this without wifi.

    When I sparked the button with the lightning bolt on it to charge it, Every battery on screen charged... Not very realistic

    Ugh, you're just trying to find problems! We both know that the only way that could possibly be an issue is if someone, for whatever reason, stamped two of the batteries without even seeing if they worked, and put both of them into one save. And even if that happened, I'm sure they'd figure it out and fix it the first time they used them.
