hey i'm new with ic2 and i don't know if there is a way to "extract energy" from the tools. like to put it down on the batbox to get the storaged energy that it has I tried that but it couldn't place it there
If they won't go in the bottom slot of a batbox (or other energy storage block), that probably means there isn't a way to do that. I'm curious why you thought there might be, though.
