Battery simulation
We have enhanced the battery simulation for increased realism. Previously, the amp draw was too low, resulting in batteries behaving like timers. Now, your choice of battery significantly influences the simulation. Low-capacity or low C-rating batteries may prematurely die or overheat. Battery sag has been refined for greater responsiveness, exhibiting a slight voltage drop when the load increases, recovering swiftly, and a slower, more enduring drop when pushed excessively.
We are excited to get your feedback on this new battery simulation!
