Descrption
Originating from the Mecha Press magazine, the Lithium Fusion Engine is much like a hybrid car, taking a smaller engine and pairing it with a network of Lithium Fusion batteries to store surplus energy that the mech is not using and release it on demand.[1]
Game Rules
Though the network of Lithium Fusion batteries occupy 14 critical slots, they add negligible mass. As a result, to find the tonnage of the engine, calculate the engine rating as normal and and reduce the desired Walk MP by 1. For example, a 60 ton mech (such as the Prodigal Son)[2] using a Lithium Fusion Engine with a Walk MP of 6 would only need a 300-rated Lithium Fusion Engine, instead of a 360-rated Standard Fusion Engine.
Lithium Fusion Engines cannot be combined with XL Fusion Engines.
Legality
As a non-canon item, Lithium Fusion Engines are NOT Tournament Legal, and if they were to appear under Total Warfare rules, would most likely be classified as Experimental Technology.
