I took the time to count this. I leveled from 403 to 404, then to 405 and 406.

Each of these 3 times, it took exactly 100 scans to level up, enough to make 3-and-some runs through a Battlefield (30 scans each).

Essentially this means you get 136 "free" energon per 1000 energon you spend. In reality it will be less, as you would have residual energon in your bar that gets "wasted" when the level-up tops you back up to 136.

Of course at the lower levels (maybe around <100?) it takes fewer scans to level up. In the lowest levels (1-10), only 9 scans will get you a level-up, so you can continuously level-up even without using recharges.

Question: Can you "level up" at lvl 999, but stay at 999? or do you never level up again, and so lose out on the free ec/bc from then on?
