/**
 * Provides the ability to store energy on the implementing item.
 *
 * This interface is a special version of IElectricItem which delegates the implementation of
 * charge(), discharge() and canUse() to the implementing Item.
 *
 * The default implementation (when not using ICustomElectricItem) does the following:
 * - store and retrieve the charge
 * - handle charging, taking amount, tier, transfer limit, canProvideEnergy and simulate into account
 * - replace item IDs if appropriate (getChargedItemId() and getEmptyItemId())
 * - update and manage the damage value for the visual charge indicator
 *
 * @note ICustomElectricItem must not call the ElectricItem methods charge, discharge or canUse
 * 
 * @deprecated Use ISpecialElectricItem instead.
