Droid Power Usage MechanicsDroids require power. There are two sources of power: batteries, and power droid. When a Droid is low on power, it will say, "*low power*" Many of the droid's functions will not work if the droid is at 0% Battery Power.
Crafting modules can also be affected by nearby droids or crafting stations. If you are not getting functionality from your droid's crafting module after verifying the power, store the droid and call it again in a different area. Also keep in mind that droids should not be built with multiple crafting stations.
The typical battery life is 4 hour per charge; however some modules will drain power at a faster rate. To recharge your droid, you must have a Droid Battery present in your Inventory. Under Droid Options, on the droid radial, you will find a Recharge command. 1 Battery charge will be expended per recharge use. Recharging your droid will heal all Mental damage. The second option is to use the battery directly from the inventory. To use a battery, have a battery, out of the crate, in your primary inventory. Select the radial menu, and click on RECHARGE. This will draw a single charge out of the droid battery (note that a droid battery can have more than one charge or uses). Droid charge does not appear to stack. So, if you dump 20 batteries into a droid at once, it will not make that power last any longer than if you had just dumped one charge into the droid. The radial is the only way to recharge your droid, through the use of a battery. Power Droids also produce the same function as using a battery, but can not target themselves for the recharge. A power droid can be used to power one other droid at a time - hence, if you own a power droid, you can only power someone else's droid, as you can only have one droid out at a time. Power droids can power multiple other droids before needing a recharge of their own. Source References
