How to Charge Your Jetpack and Armor in Mekanism

The Chargepad Method

Craft a Chargepad and place it on the ground. Run a Basic Universal Cable from a Basic Energy Cube or Advanced Energy Cube to the Chargepad. Stand on the pad and your equipped Jetpack, Armored Jetpack, Free Runners, Armored Free Runners, and Atomic Disassembler recharge automatically from the cube's stored energy. This is the simplest repeatable charging setup.

Charging on the Move

If you are far from base, carry a charged Basic Energy Cube in your inventory. Place it down, cable it to a Chargepad, and stand on the pad to refill. Pick the cube back up when done. Alternatively, keep a Canteen or spare cube handy and swap gear at your base's charging station.

Keeping the Network Topped Up

Your Chargepad drains whatever cube it is cabled to. Make sure a generator or larger storage array feeds that cube continuously. An Induction Provider with Basic Induction Cell or Advanced Induction Cell gives you a large buffer so charging gear does not stall your machines. Use a Configurator on the cable between cube and Chargepad to confirm the pad is pulling, not pushing, energy. With a steady supply, you can recharge a Jetpack between flights without ever crafting a new one.
