See How to switch off steam engines in the night, when enough accumulator capacity is available?
- When discharged above maximum speed by multiple unconnected poles, will distribute energy unequally (some may get 100% demand, others 0%)
- May be used to provide limited amount of power (multiples of maximum charge rate) to a section of the grid
- Produces light when charging and discharging
