The important thing to remember is that the recharge rate declines dramatically once it falls below 25% of capacity. Therefore, if in a fight, leave yourself a margin of safety and consider escaping if it appears that you will soon fall below this amount. | The important thing to remember is that the recharge rate declines dramatically once it falls below 25% of capacity.
