You've already probably thought of this, but I think all (premade) electrical assembly items should have a charger part, which would also be an assembly. This could be upgraded with better materials, cables, etc., and would make a lot of sense (seeing as it explains how electrical assemblies can charge at all), and the charger could possibly also used (in digital assemblies) for file transfer/hacking.

I'll update soon with something else i was considering, its somewhat related. Batteries!
EDIT:
Updated!
Oh, and as for chargers, There would be three possible 'chargers'. - A battery slot (Variable size, only works with certain sized batteries. Think AAA and D Cells.) - A corded wire slot/regular power, For computers and most appliances. To charge it needs to be above a knotted wire. - A heavy corded wire slot/direct power, For big appliances (A particle accelerator) That will NOT be moved often, and need lots of power. To charge it needs to be above the Bigger sort of wire.
The basic APC, I suppose, Will draw input from a Direct power charger, And output to a regular power cable on the same tile. Everything that happens to the power inside that apc, has yet to be decided, though.
Interface design too!
There will be various console screen sizes. The console screen sizes directly influence the size of the interface, If an object has multiple console screens, They will be displayed in a window, similarly as <div class=console1>[content]</div> tags, With the div id being unique to each console screen. The class would be defined from the console screen size.
The interface of the device, Would have to be coded into a hardrive/processor board, Using html most likely, To make it prettier. That means player-made machines, Will just have unlabelled buttons and blank screens, unless that fraction if CT does its job on interface design/programming. The sky is the limit!
Since classes in byond need to be scripted in etc... I will NOT be making it possible to define class tags in consoles, for fear of unused, defined classes, building up unnecessarily. There will however be several all-access classes you can use in div/span tags.
