I kind of dismissed this when it was first suggested back on Dec. 31, mostly because I didn't understand what the wikia contributor meant by "exchange the battery with the power orb". The only thing I found a little odd was that I couldn't place the energy orb directly on the suit. In game Version_1.7.0 I could.

When a contributor took the time to change all the energy source pages to indicate that an energy orb could be used as the suit's power source I found it a little more intriguing. So, naturally I did some testing. This is what I experienced on my iPhone 4:


 * To replace the suit's energy source with an energy orb you must drag the current energy source (battery or power crystal) onto an energy orb in one of the inventory slots.
 * The energy orb does speed up the suit status's recharge time. A full charge only takes about 65 sec.  The power crystal charge time has also decreased, it now only takes about 2.25 minutes to recharge the status.  The battery charge time is still the same.
 * I do indeed move faster with the energy orb equipped. It took me about 16 sec. to walk across a super block (128 blocks) compared to approx. 22 sec. with the power crystal equipped.  I didn't try the battery.

I'm not sure whether these times apply to the other devices with faster processors speeds. I don't think it should make much of a difference, but if someone else wants to try it out that'd be great.
