So I setup in an extreme hills biome (omg, vanilla!) in a valley between two hills. My base is (mostly) around level 70 and looking around is all hills. So I dug a "wiring closet" all the way to the top of one, which is at height 113 and setup a windmill.
Connecting the windmill to a battery, then a transformer, 10kv wire down to the base (40ish levels) another transformer and another battery box, neither of the batteries charge. Ever. The windmill definitely spins up and there is very slight fluctuation on the first battery, but it holds no charge.
Disconnecting after the first battery, and that first batter will charge full - very quickly. Reconnecting back to the transformer and it's drained almost as quick. The only thing possibly drawing the power is the other battery, but that's not charging.
Bringing the second battery up to the top and setting up the same setup with just a shorter 10kv wire, and everything charges as expected. I thought the 10kv wire was specifically available for these long haul distances. Is there any way to extend the travel ability of blulectricity? It's becoming problematic not being able to power managers, etc.
