Currently the mobile charger only works with batteries to charge tools. It would be really useful if it would also accept redstone dust to charge a tool/battery. That way I do not need to carry extra batteries with me, I can just use the redstone I found underground while using my drill to power it.

Lenton, are you using uncharged versions of the tools? your tool must have at least one charge available for it to be filled by the bat-pack. Also you must activate the bat-pack in your hand before you equip it.

If you have a bat-pack the tools will work fine for a while, however randomly (it always happens at least once during the discharge for me) the bat-pack will stop powering the tool even through there is still power left in it. To make the tools work again you must take off the bat-pack, re-activate it, and then put it back on. After doing that the tool will continue using power from the bat pack (unless you did not notice you where running off of the tools internal power and the battery dies, but then you just need to recharge it once with a mobile charger to fix it.)
I have not had it happen yet with the error log, logging but i will try again tomorrow to see if it outputs anything.

I noticed it will never trigger redstone right next to the energy-O-Mat itself, however it will always provide power next to the cable entering and exiting the energy-o-mat. No matter what i try i can not get either location to toggle. I really would like this so I can use it with my pipes in BC to create a generator feeder.
