Just a little one. Would be nice to have a small piece of information about how much a particular module uses for power and how much it consumes per minute/hour so you can minmax battery life when doing long projects. I know there are switches and stuff to turn everything off to save battery life but for example, I've just started a new game, in the a little tug boat, first derelict I come across is a juicy one, and I have now been here for like 7 in game hours, making my ship bigger so i can haul all the salvage back. I have turned everything off to save battery life but I need my battery chargers going, so as a precaution i've turned all other electrical devices off just to keep my battery on to charge my tool batteries. Would be nice to see which electrical devices take more power. Might also help in future planning to install switches on the higher consumption modules/devices.

Agreed. In the meantime, there's a chart another user made a while back; some of the data may be outdated now, but it'll give you the jist:

DL;DR: Tow braces are a massive power sink; I isolate these on their own circuit. Turn power on, lock them on, turn power off; they will function normally. When ready to detach, reverse the procedure.
Lights and battery chargers sip power slowly like it was a fine, vintage wine. Normal air pumps use a moderate amount of power when in use, but Turbo pumps still draw some power even when idle. The Hydra fuel intake, which can hold 4 gas canisters, uses less power than 4 regular in takes, and takes up much less space.
