Recondition Car Batteries

Build 41 MP stable compatible!
Note: Tested this on the stable Build 41 in solo mode with Immersive Solar Array to test all battery recipes. Works as expected. For MP servers, still need to test (ISA version will need to wait for testing until ISA is compatible with MP servers)

ANNOUNCEMENT
With the new build on the way and no way to guarantee updates, I just want to add on here that I open this mod up for anyone to take and do as they wish. You can add it to your mod, re-upload with any fixes, etc. I don't need any credit.

------------------------------------------------------------------

You can now recondition car batteries. To start, you need electrical perk to skill level 3. You already know the recipes, they are listed under the Electrical tab. Search for Repair to find it.

This mod will let you repair car batteries, even when condition is 0. I had an issue with having all these broken batteries that I had lying around and wanted to fix them, but no mod existed. It's currently very basic in how this is implemented so bear with me.

I also use the Immersive Solar Arrays mod, so I added an additional mod to include it. They are both self contained so if you want to repair vanilla car batteries, you enable Recondition Car Batteries. If you just want to repair Immersive Solar Array batteries, then enable Recondition Car Batteries - ISA. And if you want both, enable both.

If you come across an issue caused by this mod, let me know. Or if you have your own suggestions on improving this to be more realistic, or balanced for the game, also let me know and I may implement it.

When repairing, you start at level 3 Electrical. All the recipes to repair should be under that tab.

From level 3 to level 8, you have a chance of failing and getting a battery back with 0-10 condition.
When you successfully repair a battery, you get it back with full charge, and a condition roughly equal to...
(Electrical level) * 10 + random(-15 to 15)

At level 9 or 10, you get the battery back at the max condition of 75 out of 100 because these are reconditioned and wouldn't go back to new. (Will consider creating mod options if there is a want for different max outcomes)

I would wait to repair a battery when condition is low or broke. If you repair at like 90 condition with a skill of Electrical 3, your battery will be condition 45 or below.
