Description
"The 5-slot Xigo battery charger fits the Battery Cell (Small), Battery Cell (Large) and Battery Cell (Nuclear), providing up to 500W to any connected cell. Note: the older design means this device has minor power draw (10W) even when not charging." — Stationpedia
The battery charger can charge 5 battery cells at once.
Power Consumption
Each charging battery will draw 500 Watts. The maximum amount of power needed for five batteries is 2500 Watts. Connecting the battery charger to heavy cables will not increase the charging rate. It consumes 10 Watt standby power when switched on regardless of the number of batteries connected.

Note
- Previous bug: Having a filled battery in your charger will double charging time for the other ones. The time will double with each full battery present inside the charger when charging. (fixed in v0.1.1113.5609)
- Previous bug: Batteries will only charge one at a time, but the power consumption will still be 500W per charging battery. So 5 batteries will use 2510W, but still only charge one battery at a time. (fixed in v0.2.1908.8707)
