=====Device:Energy Loaders=====
**└ Module: [[IC2|Module:IC2]]** 

====Description==== 
----
**Energy Loaders** are used to provide an interface between the [[http://www.industrial-craft.net/|IndustrialCraft2]] Energy Net and [[Cart:Energy Cart|Energy Carts]]. They possess a number of advanced features unique to IC2 machines. By default they input and output at 512 EU/t. When one of the selected options triggers, it sends out a redstone current allowing for launch from a holding or boarding rail.

{{:other:loader_energy_gui.png?350|}}

===Details===
  * **Orange**: Charging Slot
  * **Yellow**: Discharge Slot
  * **Red**: Power Storage Level
  * **Green**: Loader/Unloader options
  * **Purple**: Energy transfer rate between Loader/Unloader and Energy Cart. Transfer rate varies for each cart, and depends on installed upgrades.
  * **Blue**: Upgrade Slots, you can install various upgrades to increase the performance of the Energy Loader/Unloader.

==Energy Loader==
  * **Wait If Empty** - Have empty carts wait even if there is no energy currently available.
  * **Wait Till Full/Top Off** - Wait until the cart is completely filled with energy before sending it on its way. Otherwise send the cart once there is no more energy available.

==Energy Unloader==
  * **Wait Till Empty** - Have the cart wait until it is completely empty, even if there is currently no room to unload more energy.

====Upgrades==== 
----
===Lapotron Loader Upgrade=== 
The **Lapotron Loader Upgrade** is a custom upgrade added by Railcraft. It adds 1,000,000 EU extra storage to any Energy Loader/Unloader in which it is installed. It **does not** upgrade the storage of any other IC2 machine, only Energy Loaders/Unloaders. You may not put more than 9 in a Loader/Unloader.

===Overclocker Upgrade=== 
The **Overclock Upgrade** increases the transfer rate between Energy Loaders/Unloaders and Energy Carts at the cost of efficiency. The rate increased by 30% per upgrade, energy usage by 50%. More than ten upgrades has no effect.

==Recipe== 
See: [[http://crafting-guide.com/browse/industrial_craft_2/overclocker_upgrade/|Crafting Guide]]

===Energy Storage Upgrade=== 
The **Storage Upgrade** increases the Energy Loaders/Unloaders storage capacity by 10,000 EU per upgrade.

==Recipe==

===Transformer Upgrade=== 
The **Transformer Upgrade** increases the input/output voltage of the Energy Loaders/Unloaders to 2048 EU/t. Only one upgrade is required. Improper handling can result in an explosion.

====Hints==== 
  * The plug side must face the cart.
  * Use Energy Loaders/Carts to power temporary bases easily without a lot of extra infrastructure.
  * [[Cart:Energy Cart|MFE Carts]] require a **Transformer Upgrade**.
  * Adding a Transformer Upgrade will increase the input/output to Extreme Voltage.

====Trivia==== 
  * Added in version 3.3.0
