Sorry for the wait, the new battery power usage system was a bit more work than expected. In Rust it certainly has some weird aspects that are hard to replicate, like disabled outputs on timers and memory cells adding to usage. Everything else seems accurate but let me know if not. I'm sure more adjustments will need to be patched in soon.
