Hi,
Would be possible to add battery re-charger that is connected to grid and possibly this would remove all "recharge battery" recipes as they are bit off and not immersive if you ask me.
Idea will be that you have device (placable like tv/radio) that you can insert batteries to it (one device for all kind, let's say 4 slots at a time) and it would draw power from gird and slowly charge batteries - let's say small one will be done in 1-2h, regular ones 3-5, huge one 12+. Power draw from grid should be proportional to charge rate + some overhead.
This way also steam charger could become steam version of electric generator (mid game) - there would need to be some penalty to it, like much quicker wear and tear and/or need to use metallurgy and electronic skills to fix it.
In same time, Solar Park would be obsolete (as solar generator + battery charger) would be what You need.
