== Energy Loss Criteria ==

As for v0.2.3967, every battery is subject to normal drain or conditional "cold" drain.<br>
"Cold" drain occurs if pressure bellow armstrong limit(6.3KPa)(full drain) or below 0C(drain depends on temperature).<br>
Normal drain amount - 10, "cold" drain amount - 50. If atmosphere is "indoor" then drained energy transfered to atmosphere.<br>
Sealed vacuum take full "cold" drain amount, but open vacuum disable all drains(praise the Moon).<br>
Battery cells act little different they skip pressure part, so only temperature matter. And no energy transfer occurs.<br>

== Confusing Energy Units ==

Edits made by Jimmyberg actually made energy requirement less clear. Because of word wrapping, I incorrectly read it as 600kJ, instead of 3.6MJ. I propose to use SI units instead of large number with spaces.

* To be clear, the joule ''is'' the SI units for energy. Joules (J) vs kilojoules (kJ) vs megajoules (MJ) is just a difference in the order of magnitude. Regardless, I agree with you; we should use the appropriate order of magnitude to avoid large numbers with many zeroes, as long as it still preserves all significant figures. Large number separators should probably be commas or dots, not spaces. Maybe there is already a convention somewhere in the wiki that I don't know about where the community has decided on this. --[[User:Tarlacac|Tarlacac]] ([[User talk:Tarlacac|talk]]) 11:17, 9 February 2025 (CST)
