[SOLVED][1.43] Full batbox leaking power

Wezz11 · Dec 25th 2011

Hi!

-Place two batboxes in series with some cable between
-Lock the second batbox's output with redstone or a lever
-Connect a third (empty) batbox after the second.
-Fully fill the second with 40k EU
-Put some power in the first batbox and watch it slowly empty itself

Cables used: insulated copper cable
Tested in SMP with following mods installed:
Rei'sminimap 2.8_04, BC 2.2.8, Power converters 1.3.0, Railcraft 2.0.2

Managed to get it working by using a cable splitter as a switch instead of the batbox.
Thanks for this great mod, by the way. It's awesome! Can't enjoy MC without it anymore.

Assuming i read that correctly, this is intended behavior. Redstone power to a storage block will not prevent it from emmiting power if full.

Sounds like situation as normal but i'm not sure how you had that set up. Could you provide a screenshot?

Wezz11 · Dec 25th 2011

Hmm okay. Strange behavior in case it's intended. The wiki doesn't mention anything about it though.

Here the screenshot:

A full batbox/MFE/MFSU will IGNORE a redstone signal after it is full.

Okay! Thanks for the info. As I said earlier - Luckily there is a splitter cable

Which, at the moment, still doesn't work (I think this is a known bug though). Use a transformer to step down/up and a second to receive and regenerate the packets, then you can switch the state of either of them so that it mis-matches and thus shuts off the power.

The splitter cable doesn't work directly with a lever but it has been working fine for me with a dot of redstone between.

The splitter is working as intended. You just need to provide it a redstone signal in the correct manner.

A redstone torch underneath it works.
A redstone wire leading up to it works.

I have yet to test any other possibilities though.

Oh, I tried a switch /next/ to it and that didn't work. At the time I was trying to make it work I had ZERO spare redstone so I figured it was broken.
