/**
 * This interface specifies a manager to handle the various tasks for electric items.
 *
 * The default implementation 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 If you're implementing your own variant (ISpecialElectricItem), you can delegate to the
 * default implementations through ElectricItem.rawManager. The default implementation is designed
 * to minimize its dependency on its own constraints/structure and delegates most work back to the
 * more atomic features in the gateway manager.
