'''Capacitor''' is the energy reserve your ship uses for everything. Without capacitor you can not activate modules so it is important to have enough energy in your ship.

A player by the name of “Dust Puppy” investigated the recharge rate in-depth and published his findings<ref>[https://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=116993 Dust Puppy - Thoughts and research on the capacitor]</ref>. Based on his experiments, he suggests that the formula for calculating recharge rate is:

:<math> \displaystyle\frac{~~\text{d}C~~}{~~\text{d}t~~} = \frac{ 10C_{\rm{max}}}{T} \left( \sqrt{ \frac{C}{C_{\rm{max}}} } - \frac{C}{C_{\rm{max}}} \right) </math>

:<math> \displaystyle\frac{dC}{dT} = \frac{ 10C_{\rm{max}}}{T} \left( \sqrt{ \frac{C}{C_{\rm{max}}} } - \frac{C}{C_{\rm{max}}} \right) </math>

...where:

* ''C'' is your current capacitor level in GJ.

* <math>C</math> is your current capacitor level in GJ.

* ~~''C~~<~~sub~~>max</~~sub~~>'' is your maximum capacitor level in GJ.

* <math>C_\rm{max}</math> is your maximum capacitor level in GJ.

* ''dC''/~~''dt''~~ is your current capacitor recharge rate in GJ/s. (Formally: The instantaneous rate of change of the capacitor charge ''C'' with respect to time.)

* <math>dC/dT</math> is your current capacitor recharge rate in GJ/s. (Formally: The instantaneous rate of change of the capacitor charge <math>C</math> with respect to time.)

* ''T'' is capacitor recharge time.

* <math>T</math> is capacitor recharge time.

Capacitor recharge, therefore, peaks at 25%, and the advertised “Capacitor Recharge Time” is actually the time for the capacitor to go from dead empty to 98.7%, assuming no drains or boosts.
