jjjworley: If you use the mod "Minetweaker", I have a workaround for you:
Just input following into your "mods/minetweaker/main.cfg":
Code
recipes.remove(item.ic2rechargerSmall);
recipes.addShaped(item.ic2rechargerSmall, [[items.ic2.itemBatREDischarged, items.blockTransformerLV, items.ic2.itemBatREDischarged], [null, items.blockBatBox, null], [items.ic2.itemBatREDischarged, items.blockTransformerLV, items.ic2.itemBatREDischarged]]);
recipes.remove(item.ic2rechargerMedium);
recipes.addShaped(item.ic2rechargerMedium, [[items.ic2.itemBatCrystal.damaged, items.blockTransformerMV, items.ic2.itemBatCrystal.damaged], [null, item.ic2rechargerSmall.damaged, null], [items.ic2.itemBatCrystal.damaged, items.blockTransformerMV, items.ic2.itemBatCrystal.damaged]]);
recipes.remove(item.ic2recharger);
recipes.addShaped(item.ic2recharger, [[items.ic2.itemBatLamaCrystal.damaged, items.blockTransformerHV, items.ic2.itemBatLamaCrystal.damaged], [null, item.ic2rechargerMedium.damaged, null], [items.ic2.itemBatLamaCrystal.damaged, items.blockTransformerHV, items.ic2.itemBatLamaCrystal.damaged]]);
recipes.remove(item.ic2rechargerHuge);
recipes.addShaped(item.ic2rechargerHuge, [[items.blockMFSU, items.ic2.itemPartIridium, items.blockMFSU], [items.ic2.itemPartIridium, item.ic2recharger.damaged, items.ic2.itemPartIridium], [items.blockMFSU, items.ic2.itemPartIridium, items.blockMFSU]]);The recipes are the original ones, except they now accept damaged items. I hope, this helps you :).
