I was experimenting with power yesterday and found out that whenever I run a wire from a battery to branch for example it will drain the battery constantly even if the battery is being charged. There was nothing running out of the branch, just the branch its self. Could someone explain.
I second this post. Nothing I do helps
Switch and Blocker is about the only things that will not drain a battery if I remember correctly.
Aslong as you have enough solar panel input you can use logic to make sure your batteries do not drain, he is my design. I recommend adding more solar panels (more root combiners to compensate) and then branching off more power to the battery to charge it. Using a small battery will only allow you to have a output of 10 and you will be limited to 15 minutes - large batteries are harder to charge however. If you dont want to bother doing this then buy a windmill from bandit camp

SOSIG Da Man. Im going to try what you posted in the pic.
This is what I did as well, but the electricity system is extremely flawed with the root combiner constraints, or how batteries always output their MAX output rate no matter what you have plugged it into.
Want to connect large battery to a small lamp? Here, let me out put at 100V (or whatever the unit is) - Draining your large battery faster than you can charge it. Second thing - things drain power even if they are not plugged into... it has its quirks that can be worked around, and I draft it up to roleplayer reason that "rustmen" aren't electrical engineers and they simply saying too dumb to wire something efficiently.
Another time, there are clientside desync issues - such as lamps being powered when they receive NO power at all, and in scenarios they shouldn't be (like during daytime when the system was set up to light up only during night time) - I was fairly certain it was only clientside.
