Mindcrack: Lithium-Battery not charging Electric Jetpack

[Kinsata]

Is anyone else having this issue? Is it intended? I've placed several items on my action bar with no success in charging them with this battery.

I was so excited about having it too.

What items? The Electric Jetpack can not be recharged by a normal RE-Battery, therefore why would a Lithium-Battery charge it?

 

[Kinsata]

Explains that.

Other items I tried were Advanced Chainsaw and Advanced Diamond drill.

What item would you recommend for charging the Jetpack on the go?

Advanced Chainsaw and Advanced Diamond drill are not "core" IC2 so it's possible that's why they are not charged by Litium-Battery, as for charging a Jetpack on the go, you could build a Lithium-Pack (or Battery), fill it up completely, bring a BatBox and an Electric Wrench with you, then place the BatBox down, use the Lithium-Pack to charge the Jetpack in the BatBox, then wrench it on lossless mode, and the next time you do it, charge the wrench in the BatBox as well.

Oof, sounds like a lot of inventory. Might set something up with RP and nether pouch/chest to just drop it in, charge it, and retrieve it.

Think I saw a build like that here or on the subreddit.

Mister CrafterOfMines57, thank you for your helpful answers! I consider this query sufficiently answered.

I have been able to recharge an electirc jetpack with RE batteries using the Mindcrack Pack. Lithium batteries are equivalent to energy crystals, which do not work with lower tier tools, so this may be intentional. Also, are you sure lithium batpacks work with batboxes, or do they require an MFE?

you should be able to combine the jetpack with a type of battery pack, or simply "advanced jetbattpack" that with it you can charge your tools, armor, etc. and can be charged with the solar helmet.

no one will do that idea ever.

Gravisuit Chestplate does that.

There's just an awful large gap between the Electric Jetpack and the Gravisuit.

does the gravisuite charge your tools and other armor (like leggings boots helmet) and gets charge by ultimate solar helmet?

nice!

Yeah, I tested in a Creative world and it actually seemed like on a sunny day you could indefinitely fly using the GraviSuit with the Ultimate Solar Helmet. Pretty badass.

I appear to be wrong here, RE-Batteries can charge anything that implements or extends IElectricItem (therefore jetpacks), and I looked into the GregTech code, it appears that Lithium-Batteries are essentially a crafting component that can store energy.

 

[Kinsata]

So it might just be an oversight on GregTech's end?
