I made large power cells from:
Cerenkite - 0 Power Rating
Telecrystal - 0 Power Rating
Plasmastone - 0 Power Rating

Did you add any conductive metal to your ore mix? It needs something like gold or pharosium to hold any energy.

would be nice if the "conductive material" was a second slot in the thing, instead of just asking for an energy source and not telling you the energy source also needs to be conductive.
I'll try mixing a conductive metal in and get back to you

I agree that conductive material should be a second slot for work bench power cells.

As an aside, how exactly do you get self charging batteries? I understood that you need a radioactive material as part of the power source, but after repairing the captain's antique laser gun with a battery made from cerenkite and gold it still needed charging
