Chemical Batteries HG p. 42 question

[snrdg121408]

Evening all,

I'm not getting the same cost that the example for Chemical Batteries on HG p. 42, both soft cover and pdf, has.

Per p. 42 the Type-B Battery cost is MCr(16x2000/1000X4)=108

When I crunch the numbers the cost is MCr128. So what I'm I missing?

Obviously you didn't miss math class (smile)

Ibelieve that its a "typo". the value 108 should read 128.

The formula is basic enough (although it still could be misconstrued)
It may have been better to have written it in such a manner

(16 x (2000/1000) x 4) = 128 MCr

Rather than (16 x 2000/1000 x 4) which could be rendered as a final value of 8 MCr...

Although 128 MCr seems to be a large value... (Must be Military Contractors again)

Take care

Hello Emperor Herdan,

Math is one of my, usually anyway, better skills which made me wonder if I was overlooking something. Thank you for confirming that I performed the calculations correctly as listed. Have a good weekend.
