Applied values from here to thermal electric (TE) gear.
Changed:
TE socks power draw
TE power draw, battery flag, and default battery
TE gloves power draw
TE mask power draw
TE outfit power draw
Summary
Balance "Thermal electric gear power draw reduction + medium battery for TE suit"
Purpose of change
Currently, the thermal electric outfit eats through a medium battery in seven minutes. This PR reduces the power draw of all thermal electric gear to a total of 5 W for the TE outfit. It also changes the thermal electric suit to use a medium battery instead of a light one, along with changing the battery flags for that item. See IdleSol's comment in Issue #78798
Describe the solution
Updated the on variants to new power draws:
Also changed TE suit magazine flag restriction to BATTERY_MEDIUM and default magazine to medium_battery_cell
Describe alternatives you've considered
Considered letting the TE suit also reload with light batteries, but the outfit doesn't take light batteries so I stuck with what IdleSol said. Also considered lowering the power draw to a total of 4 or even 2 W, but 5 W is manageable.
