[B42] Extended Battery Life
A simple mod that makes batteries last longer. The duration can be configured in sandbox settings.
Compared to other mods, this one dynamically scans for items that accept batteries and sets the drain rate accordingly.
As long as the item has an "InsertBattery" recipe, it will be affected. This means that non-vanilla items would also be affected.
Does not affect car batteries.
