Charging multiple Large Batteries...
The electricity system is pretty awesome but there are many bugs/issues right now... I've noticed that charging a single battery is fine but when you link multiple batteries they seem to charge ok for a little while but then they bug out and start wiping the charge or just out right stop charging... Also Trying to hook up multiple solar panels is stupid as it doesnt add up the voltages instead it selects the highest voltage and uses that where in reality you could add the voltages together for more electricity input.. I've tried making some complex stuff with electricity and it just doesnt work as it should.. I've left my batteries charging over night and the battery bugged out and stopped charging at 34 minutes on a large battery.

oh also the battery isnt hooked up to anything so theres nothing using the charge I was testing the charging system as i noticed bugs before.

keep in mind that the batteries cant hold infinite energy, it will stop when its fully charged, but how large amount it can hold im not so sure about.
Also another thing, if you are using solar panels, they will only charge it when the sun is up and not when its blocked or at nights..

i give the battery 700 in and 100 out and it drains

Large batteries ONLY put out 100 power, then it has an "80%" rule apparently, so even if you charge at 100 it will always deplete over time if in-use.

If they stop charging when you're using solar or otherwise only achieve 34 minutes as noted; likely the panels are in the wrong position or are being blocked by shadows a majority of the time. I've done tons of setups with L.Batteries, they'll charge to 4 hours each if nothing is draining them, but the power-in rate determines how quickly they will charge.

Take caution when not using blockers and switches as well. Memory cells depending on complexity can also be useful.
