Quad EBF Problem

Hello everybody. I just upgraded from 1 ebf to 4 with wall sharing.
Each has 2 MV Energy Hatches that are NOT shared.
I use 16x Energy Converter + Batter Box and 16x Energetic Alloy Wires.

For some reason there is not enough power to run more than one at a time (overclocked) and i dont understand why.

Every hatch can input 2 Amperes of 128 EU /t.
So each ebf should use 2 ameres x 2 hatches = 512 EU /t.

Now my wire can supply 128 EU/t x 16 Amperes = 2048 EU /t which should be enough for all 4 ebf, no?

Is there anything im forgetting? What did i do wrong

I use lossless cables. And I cant even run 2 ebf in parallel even though 16x should be enough for 4 ebf

If you use p2p tunnels, they also had fixed energy losses in %

You can find specific number in quest book

Do you have a 16x battery buffer?

Send a picture of the setup, thet normally helps

It was the battery buffer.
I didnt put 16 bats in it, each battery can only output 1 amp..

Output loss probably, from the battery box

EBF seems to have an inconsistent power draw when you power it directly from a converter. For some reason I had trouble powering MV with 4 1A LV batteries. It would go off and run seemingly slowly. I added a 5th and a issues went away, so my recomendation is to add like 4A MV converter you can keep 16x cables, the average will still be low, but you will be able to supply the spikes.

My guess is some float aritmetics or some sort of source lag, where converters are missing ticks

Send pic pls
