When I try to make batteries, I try to use inserters to insert iron. But the inserter only inserts about 2 or 3 iron before it stops. Even though the chemical plant needs iron. Idk whether this is a bug or human error. But it should work. I've also tried inserters on both inputs, and on all sides of the Chemical Plant

Screenshot?

Could you post your save file? I'm interested in seeing this.

To make batteries, you need iron, copper, and sulfuric acid. One of each plate and 20 acid.
Inserters will stop after inserting 2 of each component until a craft can be started. If you lack acid or copper, that's the expected behaviour.
