What does this setting do?
A battery loses charge even when parked, and this multiplier sets the pace. It mainly affects players who are not online daily: take a week off and you return to a flat battery that has to be sorted out before anything else.
On servers with a working-adult regular crowd this is an underrated source of irritation. Setting the value to 0 removes self-discharge entirely — the battery then keeps its charge until next use.
Which value suits my server?

0 to 0.3. Casual players are not punished.
Classic PvP
1.0.
Hardcore
1.0.
What to watch out for
Hits casual players twice
Infrequent players lose additional time on repairs instead of playing. On servers with many working adults a low value pays off.
