Chargepad Not Putting Out Much Power

Issue description

Regardless of whether I place the Chargepad on an Ultimate Universal Cable attached to my MASSIVE system of over 500+ cables, (of which are attached to my Induction Matrix with 1 Ultimate Provider and 1 Ultimate Cell), or on top of a Quantum Entangloporter with the other attached directly to an output of the Induction Matrix, the Chargepad refuses to charge my Mekasuit at even 1/20th the speed that placing each piece directly into the Induction Matrix does.

I cannot find the cause for this, as even placing the Chargepad DIRECTLY on top of the output of the Induction Matrix has no noticeable difference. I believe the Chargepad needs an update with a MUCH higher output.

I shouldn't have to wait 2+ hours of real time to fully charge my max upgraded Mekasuit in the chargepad, and I shouldn't have to resort to taking each piece off and placing them into the Induction Matrix itself instead. Maybe the Chargepad needs to accept Energy and Speed Upgrades in the future?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Place a Chargepad on a large network of Ultimate Universal Cables or some massive power source.
  2. Fully upgrade a Mekasuit with Max Energy Upgrades.
  3. Stand on Chargepad.
  4. Watch Chargepad trickle power into Mekasuit.

LOL
I just wrote a comment (I mean finished writing, I started like 2 hour ago before your ticket was posted, but took a break and did some testing during :) for an other ticket (#6786) and I fully agree: Chargepad is too slow.

Glad someone agrees lol

I've had to resort to using Flux Networks but it's not very Mekanism immersive to do so lol

What I did on my survival is that I placed 4 chargepads toguether in a square and I stand in the middle so the 4 of them charge me up at the same time. This speeds a lot the charging, you can try this.

I adjusted the defaults slightly and gave a bit more configuration options to it but the chargepad is still going to be drastically slower at charging things with massive buffers like a mekasuit... There is no reasonable reason why a tiny plate would or should be able to charge something as fast as multiple ultimate induction providers.
