When detaching a computer terminal from the ship, electricity will arc off of it slightly, and in some cases can damage nearby objects.

Power cells can be removed similarly to computer terminals, but they will retain their charge even after being detached. Because of this, you'll want to handle them carefully when removing and storing them in the barge, as bumping them into other objects can cause the power cell
