Oh duh! Completely forgot about the heat mechanic. Thanks ValkonX11 n_n;

Thanks for the replies, The reply from jalkath and the link from fulvus answered my question. As jalkath said, the number in the top is the CURRENT energy storage. My main concern was that the number in the bottom of the tinkertable, specifically 5MJ is diferent from the number in the OSD on the right side of the screen, which says 500kJ. However, now that I fully charged the battery, the number in the top of the tinkertable also reads 5MJ. So I guess it's just a conversion error as suggested in the link from fulvus, everything appears to be working correctly. Although I am curious as to why I have two power bars in the MPS OSD on the right. The one on the left is full with 500kJ and then there is an empty one to the right of the full one. I only have one battery (in the chest piece), none of my other MPS items have a battery in them, and I know the chest piece is fully charged (shows 500kJ/500kJ on shift hover). Thanks, Laptopdide

Alright, so I'm playing on the recommended version of Tekkit and have been having a weird problem with Modular Power Suits. I tried googling it and found no similar problems, so I'm wondering if either no one else has NOTICED the problem, or if I have some weird problem with my modpacks. If I install any size battery (regular, advanced, or elite) in any of the MPS pieces (helmet, chest, legs, boots, fist) I cannot actually change its storage size. If I adjust the slider for "Battery Size" at the bottom right of the tinker table, the "Maximum Energy" changes in the bottom right. However, the "Energy Storage" in the top right corresponding to that MPS piece does not change. Nor does the number when I hover over the piece in my inventory, nor the bars on the right side of the screen when I'm wearing the suit. The weight, however, increases in both the bottom right and top right in the tinker table. TL;DR: Adjusting the size of batteries in my Modular Power Suit using the Tinker Table (or Field Tinker Module) does not actually change their size. Anyone with the same problem or have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Laptopdude
