Recharge Station
( Every equipement that uses power will have to be recharged from time to time, and the recharge process will be done at the Recharge Station. )

Now in MCO we have to recharge Drill battery to let it work.
Since almost every equipement in MCO uses power I propose that
every one would have to be recharged from time to time.
It would be a greate job to do, and futhermore: relistic.
For instance: you used 20 GPR shots, and now besides the shots the would
need to be resuplied, you would also have to recharge it's battery.
The same would go for instance with Portable light - it can
work non-stop for a few days, but it only can recharge during the day...so you can:
a) turn it off during the day
or
b) leave it on and recharge it periodicly from time to time.
The same same would be with every other equipement you could think of (even water can and oxygen canisters - they need to be heated/cooled and presurized to work, and they would have simple electronics like locator-chip, diagnostics panel that needs power).
Each equipement would be recharged at the Recharge Station.
It would be a greate Work Order ---> "Drill #1 Battery Low." (for instance) or "Portable Light #3 Battery Low".
This work order would show if the equipement has less than like 20% power supply.
