Mod «Plysken Battery Charger» for Project Zomboid

This mod prevents batteries from being destroyed when they reach 0% charge, allowing them to be recharged using a crafted Crank Battery Charger. It is designed for solo and multiplayer environments (co-op host and dedicated server) on Project Zomboid Build 42.

Key Features:

• Batteries remain in containers after depletion instead of vanishing
• Dead batteries can be removed from devices via right-click context menu
• Craftable Crank Battery Charger requires Electricity skill level 2, screwdriver, scrap metal, electronic scrap, and electric wire
• Charging consumes endurance and time; partial charges are preserved if stopped early
• Ordinary batteries degrade with each charge cycle until broken (can be scrapped for metal)
• Rechargeable Batteries are rare loot items that degrade much slower and return to inventory when removed from devices

Sandbox Options:

• Adjust cranking time per battery
• Modify endurance cost per full charge
• Set wear rate for ordinary and rechargeable batteries
• Control spawn rarity of Rechargeable Batteries
• Configure maximum charge capacity for worn batteries

Compatibility & Notes:

• Compatible with mods using vanilla batteries (e.g., modded flashlights)
• Can be added to existing saves, but previously destroyed batteries cannot be recovered
• No mains/wall socket charging available to maintain scarcity balance
