ZPM might be like car battery as you have the engine ruing the battery gets garaged up but if you don’t move the battery will just gets depleted

This particular thread however, seems to have no purpose. I am not even sure what the poster means.An all new Stargate spinoff presents
Stargate: The B Team
The galaxy just got a whoooole lot crazier!

i think hes on about somthing similar to like, if you have your 12v car battery running the radio/games consoles/microwaves/whatever without the engine running you run the battery down. And if you run them with the engine running the battery will keep topped up constently (shame your petrol dont ) i think hes asking if the same concept applys to ZPM's in atlantis. Correct me if im wrong
My answer - I think the ZPM's are a little bit more complexing than a 12v car battery...
"But the core of science fiction, is essance has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all..."
Dont let our show die.

the 'engine' as you simply put it draws energy and uses mostly all of it the design is to use energy in the most efficient and wasteless way possible...as you notice most of the energy that is created from 'internal combustion engines' is never used...the alterans use all the energy cause they never create it..it is just there..and you cant charge a zpm...it is like an alkaline battery in that way...(car batteries are mainly acidic and use an acidic reaction to create their power...lemon and zinc or was it copper? ) the zpm uses some sorta artificial sub-space foam energy thingy...i dont remember exactly but here is the link

PROOF!!! HA!!!
(you can find almost anything needed bout stargate here...and anything else for that matter.)

Think of it like this....
The one ZPM in "The Tower" was depleted very quickly when McKay turned on the stardrive, because there was no other ZPM's supporting the first one.
Janus said that there are 3 ZPM's that power the city, and they are running in parallel. That means that having 3 ZPM's doesnt mean more power. It only means more amperage to handle the heavy load of more than one system running.
Here is a quick example.... Right now, the city has 1 ZPM that used, and the team is using it to power the shield, but if they wanted to activate the stardrive and fly somewhere, they would have to turn off the shield, because 1 ZPM cannot handle the extra draw (load) of both systems, so in order to use the shield, stardrive and any other systems, they would need 3 ZPM's running in parallel. This doesnt mean that 1 ZPM powers the shield, the 2nd ZPM powers the stardrive, and the 3rd powers something else, it means that all 3 of them are working together not to provide more power, but provide more amperage to sustain the load of the extra system running.
The same amount of power is being used, but that 1 ZPM, now has 2 more running with it, to provide more holding power, which will increase life expectancy.
Hope this makes sense.
