IC2 Tiers

all HV based items: Tier 3 (Industrial)
all MV based items: Tier 2 (Commercial)
all LV based items: Tier 1 (Residential)

Actually there should also be a small pre-industrial tier, like Treetaps.

Oh and I would like to make 2 bronze-dust from 3 Copper-Ore and 1 Tin-Ore (which is worse than using the Dusts, but a good access to bronze as also pre-industrial).

But I agree T1 = LV, Batteries, T2 = MV, Energy-Crystals, T3 = HV, Lap-Crystals

By that every generator but the Reactor would be in Tier 1 and the reactor is in all three XD

So? It's surprisingly easy to create a furnace and to link it to a boiler/dynamo to generate electricity... sure, it's slightly impractical in some ways, but it's still doable in the sense of creating localized electricity in your own home...

And people often did something to this effect when there were blackouts, especially in the winter. Furnace to keep warm, the boiler/dynamo to keep electricity flowing.

Dynamo?

Pretty much THE source of all electrical generation on the planet. Every power plant has a large one of these creating electrical differentials by rotation of some sort. That rotation can either be caused by steam generated by coal/geothermal/nuclear heat, or some other methods of mechanical rotation. Solar panels are the exception to this rule, as they rely on the charge displacement of electrons as they are being bombarded by light from the Sun.

Dynamo?

No way there ppl who dont know what it is?

There are people alive today that would not be able to tell you what these items are:

LOL! I know, right? And to think what it will be like when we hit our grandparent's ages with the technological changes to society that we'll have to endure...

Xeno how about these may as well go back a little bit further

Did you know 8 tracks never need to be rewound? Yeah I do thanks to Dad, long road trips and Niel Diamond.....

There is no good reason for a 8 year old to know all the words to You don't bring me flowers. None what so ever.

i woudl add:
bronze armor: Tier1
Nano Suite: Tier2
Qantum suite: Tier3

8-tracks never made it big in Australia. I was a teen in the 80s and by then the CD had appeared and was getting popular. I still have a few dozen vinyls in a cupboard somewhere though
