An '''EU storage block''', as its name implies, is a block that accepts, stores, and outputs [[EU]]. This is accomplished through either in-world cable connections or the block's GUI.

== Use and notes ==
When placed, a storage block's output face is oriented toward the player. This is indicated by a dot (observe the images in the table below). All other faces can be used for input, so long as no single input exceeds the block's maximum EU/t (based on its [[power tier]]). Exceeding this figure will almost certainly result in an explosion; use a [[transformer]] of the correct tier to avoid this unfortunate event (or a series thereof).

To '''reorient''' a storage block, right-click with a wrench on the face you want to use for output, or shift-right-click to set it as the opposite face.

To '''remove''' a storage block, simply wrench the output face (or shift-wrench the face opposite it).
* Storage blocks will only retain '''80%''' of their EU when removed.

Chained storage blocks (i.e. wired to other storage blocks) can be used to avoid cable loss on lengthy transmission lines; however, the material cost of crafting another storage block may well outweigh the extra 1 or 2 EU per packet you would otherwise lose.

[[Image:GUI_MFE.png|frame|EU storage block GUI, specifically the MFE.|link=]] The storage block GUI (example at right) has two slots for items; the top slot is used for charging items from the block's EU storage, the bottom slot for discharging items into the block's EU storage. Not shown to the lower left of the main GUI[''image needs updating''] are four slots that show the player's currently worn armor, allowing for quick charging of equipped items without having to remove them beforehand.

The button in the upper right cycles through the available options for the storage block's redstone behavior (though the last two options are output behavior).
* Nothing (''default'')
* Emit if full
* Emit if partially filled
* Emit if partially filled or empty
* Emit if empty
* Do not output energy
* Do not output energy unless full

IC² currently has four EU storage blocks.

''Extracted from the old MFE page as-is.''

'''This section is outdated.'''

This device can do it. Everything.

The ''MultiFunctionalElectric Transmitter'' is necessary for any big industrial workspace using cables and current. Why? Let me tell you of the amazing number of uses:

Any cable linked to the side faces of the ''MFE'' will transmit energy into it. The ''MFE'' itself will as well '''EMIT''' energy, through the top and bottom faces.

Even more, the ''MFE'' contains an integrated '''ENERGY STORAGE'''. Yes, that's right, it can effectively contain an amount of energy, comparable to '''60 [[RE_Battery|RE BATTERIES]]'''(or 10 [[Energy_Crystal|Energy Crystals]]).
The ''MFE'' will often not emit power if no power is requested of it (for instance, if it is just linked to a machine). However, it is possible to stop the ''MFE'' from emitting energy at all by powering it with redstone.

But even better: for the unbelievable case you managed to '''FULLY LOAD''' the ''MFE'', it will emit energy (ignoring redstone signals). This was done for the sake of preventing energy from getting wasted in uebercharged ''MFE'' 's.

Last but not least, the ''MFE'' can act as an energy up- & download station in vast networks. You can pop an empty battery(or an empty Energy Crystal) in the upper slot and it will become charged until it's full or the MFE is out of energy. As well, you can put charged batteries(and charged Energy Crystals)into the lower slot to load up the ''MFE'' 's storage.
That's technology, isn't it, HAYO!
