Automatic Energy Cell refilling system

Hello out there!
So.. i made this code for a friend yesterday, and it didnt really work out as it was suppose to do, so i began to make a new, but i keep hitting the same wall, i've tryed to walk around to issue by saying it to do it in another way..

the code is simple enough:p

Spoiler

local c = peripheral.wrap("bottom")

local function cell()
	 if c.getEnergyStored() < 500000 then
		 rs.setBundledOutput("back", 1)
	elseif c.getEnergyStored() == c.getMaxEnergyStored() then
		rs.setBundledOutput("back", 0)
		sleep(10)
   end
end

while true do
  cell()
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  print("Energy cell management")
  sleep(2)
end

i get the error message: Attempt to compare number with string expected, got string

Please help me out here.. i dont understand it since i would mean it's simple enough and should work just fine?

Regards Plazter

Beats me as to why, but wrapping a redstone energy cell and running "type(c.getEnergyStored())" indeed returns "string". "c.getMaxEnergyStored()" gives a number (as one would expect).

Using the term "tonumber(c.getEnergyStored())" should do the trick.
