Usage[]
Purpose[]
The accumulator is a battery for holding electrical charge. It will charge up when connected through any Floors which connect to source of electrical Power. Each accumulator unit can hold 10MJ of power, an amount which can be upgraded through the Technology tree up to a maximum of 50MJ.

Additional information[]
Accumulators will charge up when the power network has surplus power and at a rate that is proportional to the power excess. Equally it will discharge if the network has insufficient power at a rate that is proportional to the deficit. The lights on the accumulator provide a visual indicator of the amount of charge.
