How to use the red matter capacitor?

So a few months ago i was able to get a cheap Gold Edition from France for around $15, simply because EVERYONE was wanting a red matter capacitor so badly they would sell their kidneys for one. So i picked one up because it was so cheap on the fact the community demand was so great, even now a days you hear complaining and wishful thinking about them.
I know vaguely what it does and have it equipped but not enjoying its full benefits apparently.
So, how/what occasions do i activate this to "enjoy" it????
Thanks!

description it a bit off... one says repairs all subsystems... yet on the same page it says it only repairs aux subsystem.
/shrug
a while back i thought it did repair but it could of been a repair to aux power... i know it doesnt repair weapons.
so the repairs all subsystems is broken... but i honestly dont know if it repairs aux power or not.
It can be slotted in a device slot wich mostly goes unused anyway, so its a powerbonus that doesent consume on use.
Wish I had it. Would go well with my build as I tend to use batteries alot.
I also wish we could have the rechargeable batteries that you find in some "Demo Ships"

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
great for those times when everything is going all to &^((%.
It repairs them for me. What I mean is if someone like Tholians turn off my weapons or engines, I hit the red matter and am back to full and ready to go.

Actually it's not. If you combine it with other energy boosting gear and doffs it's fantastic. My Rom engineer never runs out of power. I've got 4 batteries going and this is one of them, I also just picked up the doff for bonuses when I use a battery from that special weekend event.
So let's recap, I got the energy boosting shield from Omega which gives me power when enemies fire on me, I get bonus power when I use the batteries to all subsystems as an engineer officer, and I use the doff for bonus energy when using an EPTX ability, and a doff for bonuses for which battery type I use.
It's awesome
as others have said the RMC is far from useless i constantly use it on my Phantom to give a nice kick in combat or a quick regen when coming out of full impulse the RMC can make a world of difference. only thing i really have a problem with is that the weapons subsystem does not come back online if the RMC is used odd =\
If you want all 4 at once, use it.
Also, it IS a battery, so skill points in "batteries" will extend its effects noticably, making it last longer. The academy doff event also gives a unique doff that can modify the use with an additional effect.
Hey, it's not game breaking. It's not uber. It's just nice. It's also re-usable, so you don't have to re-stock any consumables.
Doesn't work for me. Be it Tholian disable or phaser proc, RMC doesn't repair anything. Tested several time, and I'm 100% sure. I thought it was a long time nerf, and they never bothered to change the tooltip.
Could it be bugged ?
It sounds bugged or broken somehow. I use mine most often against Tholians with their love of shutting down engines or weapons. One of the new Delta baddies does the same. It's not let me down so far!
