These supercaps are an alternative to batteries for when you need high bursts at the cost of capacity.

The values have been equally balanced across small and large ships, unlike it is the case with every other vanilla item keen released. That means that the power density [MW/m³] and energy density [MWh/m³] are the same for small and large ships. That makes input/output rate and capacity for a large 1x1x1 block 125 times higher than a small 1x1x1 block. Same goes for the material requirements.

The values that have been used for those supercaps are: - power density = 10 MW/m³ - energy density = 0.0013 MWh/m³

For comparison, the vanilla batteries do have: - power density = 0.64 MW/m³ (small blocks) and 0.256 MW/m³ (large blocks) - energy density = 0.16 MWh/m³ (small blocks) and 0.064 MWh/m³ (large blocks)

== Small Block Stats ==

= Tiny Capacitor (1x1x1 small block) Input/Output = 1.25 MW Capacity = 1.625 kWh weight = 93 kg - 2 Construction - 1 MetalGrid - 2 PowerCell - 3 Computer - 1 SteelPlate

= Small Capacitor (1x1x2 small block) Input/Output = 2.5 MW Capacity = 3.25 kWh weight = 119 kg - 2 Construction - 1 MetalGrid - 3 PowerCell - 6 Computer - 1 SteelPlate

= Medium Capacitor (2x2x4 small block) Input/Output = 20 MW Capacity = 26 kW weight = 852 kg - 8 Construction - 2 MetalGrid - 24 PowerCell - 78 Computer - 8 SteelPlate

= Large Capacitor (3x3x6 small block) Input/Output = 67.5 MW Capacity = 87.75 kWh weight = 2 819 kg - 23 Construction - 6 MetalGrid - 81 PowerCell - 162 Computer - 27 SteelPlate

== Large Block Stats ==

= Tiny Capacitor (1x1x1 large block) Input/Output = 156.25 MW Capacity = 203.125 kWh weight = 6 553 kg - 55 Construction - 13 MetalGrid - 188 PowerCell - 375 Computer - 63 SteelPlate

= Medium Capacitor (2x2x4 large block) Input/Output = 2 504 MW Capacity = 3 250 kW weight = 103 840 kg - 805 Construction - 200 MetalGrid - 3000 PowerCell - 6000 Computer - 1000 SteelPlate

= Large Capacitor (3x3x6 large block) Input/Output = 8 437.5 MW Capacity = 10 968.75 kWh weight = 350 365 kg - 2705 Construction - 675 MetalGrid - 10125 PowerCell - 20250 Computer - 3375 SteelPlate

==Note==

All blocks have been balanced realistically. Thus their values dont follow the games "balance design" in terms of small and large ship comparison.

We also recommend using Darth Biomech's Accumulator mod as complementary energy source to our batteries.
