Cold Battery Rate Limit

I wanted to confirm that I have tested the v0.5 fix, and the penalty to battery capacity slider now works as intended. Thanks!

Got it - thanks very much! :-)

v0.5
Reversed capacity (thanks paulcurtisadams).

btw you can just post in the mod, I get notifications for mods as well as profile.

I am noticing that the mod option to apply a penalty to capacity is actually going in what I believe is the wrong direction - the battery capacity is actually going up in cold areas as a result. For example, setting the penalty at 25% is making the Power Accumulator storage capacity increase from 200 to 250 during cold waves, or in cold areas. I am using this together with the Realistic Mars mod that affects battery capacity as well, so perhaps that is causing an error with the calculations of the Cold Battery Rate Limit. Thanks for any insight you can provide!

@GlassDeviant
It's a bit complicated. And it depends, somewhat, on the type of battery.

Yes, as a general rule, batteries that are kept cool perform better than batteries that are warm or hot. But there can be a big difference between "cool" and "cold".

Most batteries work on an electrochemical process. But are these sci-fi batteries built on Mars electrochemical... or something else?

Anyway, the electrochemical reaction does slow down in colder weather, weakening your battery’s power. Freezing weather can actually drain an automobile's battery power by 30-60%.

Dzięki :-)
Thank you :-)

Tak zdecydowanie może być suwak zamiast 25%

Anyone want percent slider options instead of 25? YES

Interesting, since batteries perform better when cold. :)
