If there is surplus power the battery will recharge but only at 50 efficiency half the energy is lost.
Rimworld batteries roof.
This is not optimal as while a solar eclipse the batteries could completely run empty.
I try to build some other electric stuff in hopes it will appeare once i have an electricity font.
Batteries store electricity during times of excess and release it during times when demand exceeds supply.
