For some reason, this code will not always write on the monitor:

Spoiler

local nameStart = "tile_thermalexpansion_cell"
local names = {
  ["Leadstone"] = 400000;
  ["Hardened"] = 2000000;
  ["Redstone"] = 20000000;
  ["Resonant"] = 80000000;
}
local totalStored = 0
local totalMax = 0
function cellName(maxstore)
  local name = "Unknown"
  for i,v in pairs(names)do
    if v == maxstore then
	  name = i
    end
  end
  return name
end
function shorten(num)
  retNum = num
  if num >= 1000 then
    retNum = math.floor(num/10)/100 .."K"
  end
  if num >= 1000000 then
    retNum = math.floor(num/10000)/100 .."M"
  end
  if num >= 1000000000 then
    retNum = math.floor(num/10000000)/100 .."B"
  end
  if num >= 1000000000000 then --1 trillion, very impossible to get.
    retNum = math.floor(num/10000000000)/100 .."T"
  end
  return retNum
end
local m = peripheral.find("monitor")
if not m then print("Monitor not found.") return end
while true do
  local num = 1
  totalStored = 0
  totalMax = 0
  for i,v in pairs(peripheral.getNames())do
    local p = peripheral.wrap(v)
    if v:lower():sub(1,#nameStart) == nameStart:lower() then
	  totalStored = totalStored + p.getEnergyStored()
	  totalMax = totalMax + p.getEnergyStored()
	  m.setCursorPos(1,num)
	  local percent = math.floor((p.getEnergyStored()/p.getMaxEnergyStored())*100)
	  local msg = cellName(p.getMaxEnergyStored()).." Energy Cell  "..shorten(p.getEnergyStored()).."/"..shorten(p.getMaxEnergyStored()).."  "..percent.."%"
	  m.clearLine()
	  m.write(msg)
	  num = num + 1
    end
  end
  m.setCursorPos(1,num)
  local percent = math.floor((totalStored/totalMax)*100)
  local msg = "Total  "..shorten(totalStored).."/"..shorten(totalMax).."  "..percent.."%"
  m.clearLine()
  m.write(msg)
  sleep(1)
end

Likely a certain 1.74 bug. Try modifying this bit like so:

local m = peripheral.find("monitor")
if not m then print("Monitor not found.") return end
m.setTextScale(0.5)
m.setTextScale(1)
while true do

It seems like that fixed it. Thanks!
