Read Installing and Configuring tab!

• Overhauls all NVDs, Headsets, Tactical devices, Thermal/NV and Holographic sights to function on batteries and now have a slot reserved for them. A battery in the slot is drained when the item is equipped and in use.
• Replaces D Size Batteries with CR2032 Batteries and Rechargable Batteries with CR123 Batteries. Sight description now lists what batteries it uses.
• Without batteries NVGs lose their night-vision property and collimators lose their reticle, but you can still see through them!
• Batteries last an hour on NVGs, but is affected by the type of them; bigger field of vision means increased battery drain. Batteries in collimators last up to 2.5 hours.
• Added four new crafts in the hideout for crafting and recharging batteries.
• Bots can spawn with drained batteries which makes finding batteries easier.

BatterySystem conflicts with any mod that modifies D Size Battery or Rechargable Battery.

Batteries might not spawn on bots when using mods that alter bot equipment presets. Any mod that alters hearing (such as a deafening effect) won't probably work well with unpowered headsets. I recommend disabling BatterySystem for headsets in the F12-menu.

Adding compatibility for custom electronics such as collimators:

1. Open up order.json in your SPT-AKI/user/mods/order.json
2. Add the folder names of your mods that add electronics. Add Jiro-BatterySystem after them:

{ "order": [ "CustomSightModFolderName", "AnotherCustomSightFolderName", "Jiro-BatterySystem" ] } Custom electronics default to using CR2032 batteries.

1. Drop the extracted user/ and BepInEx/ folders into your SPT-AKI installation folder.
2. After starting the Server, in Launcher click Settings > Clean Temp files. This updates battery icons to the new ones.
3. If you are using mods to add custom electronics such as sights, read Compatibility tab.

All Configurable options can be found in the BepInEx menu, which is accessed in-game with F12.

Here you can disable/enable headset batteries or logging and change the drain rate multiplier.

Planned Features:

• Lower the accuracy when a collimator doesn't have a battery.
• Play a sound when battery runs out, is added or is removed.
• Flicker when battery is running out - idea by Jehree
• Flip up iron sights when a battery runs out

Known Bugs:

• You can see through T-7 thermal goggles when they don't have batteries installed.
• Some wonky behavior when using Torrey Pines Logic Thermal sight as a canted sight. This happens in Live, so blame BSG.
• Headset batteries spawn with 100% durability.

This mod would have taken an eternity if not for these people and their help and ideas:

DrakiaXYZ: Thank you for answering my newbie questions and helping me figure out errors + hideout craft ideas!

SamSWAT: Thanks for the help with cameras and patching!

Fontaine: Helped with spawning the batteries, client methods, compatibility with Realism and more!

and Nexus: Showed me how to implement drainable batteries, credit to them!

Props: Thanks for the help and ideas!

Jehree: Great ideas (that I will implement soon )

Hazelify: Credit for ideas with night vision devices, such as variable drain rates!

Battery bundles were created with EFT-SDK
