UI "Capacity" vs megawatts, units & wording #66

Closed rogersk closed 7 years ago

rogersk commented 7 years ago

first, indication of megawatt uses wrong prefix (4000EC is shown as 4mW, not 4MW) - in capacity and in flow values.

during construction, indicating capacity in same units as flow (EC or W) is misleading. especially in "SI" mode, watt capacity should be displayed as a function of time. like 1) kW.s-1 (1kWs = 1EC/s). 2) preferred, more common W.h-1 would require additional conversion (1kWh = 3600 EC/s) and could be yet another source of confusion :) 3) just leave the unit blank for capacity, although the 1000 steps would be in the way then

in flight, this is a non-problem, by indicating it in % which is explicit and dimensionless.

I think people may be confused using kWh. How about: W.s kW.s MW.s
