One of the main appeals of placing Lightning Rods on your farm is to protect them from damage during a storm. When a storm occurs on your farm, there is a chance of a Lightning strike occurring which will cause lightning damage to Crops as well as Trees on your farm.
Storms only happen on rainy days, but when they do, there is a chance for a Lightning strike every ten minutes, so you can understand why some players prioritize placing multiple Lightning Rods on your farm. Placing these Lightning Rods means that storms can be intercepted and absorb lightning damage that would otherwise occur on your farm, which then creates Battery Packs.
Lightning Rods store storm energy, which they then process and turn into Battery Packs. In order to create Battery Packs, Lightning Rod should be placed around your farm.
You will be able to tell when the items are ready to collect as the Lightning Rods will start to move and pulsate to indicate that there are items available to collect.

Lightning Rods can be placed in any location as the location does not influence the success of the Lightning Rod. It is important to note, however, that you should not place the Lightning Rod outside of your farm as although it technically can be placed here, it will not be able to collect any energy from storms here.
Once you place Lightning Rods around your farm, they will create Battery Packs by storing energy that is present during a storm. If you are eager to create Battery Packs, you could create and place multiple Lightning Rods all around your farm, as each Rod can only store or collect energy from one storm at a time until it is collected.

How many Lightning Rods you create really depends on how eager you are to collect energy and create Battery Packs, but you can collect multiple rods on your farm to make the most out of every storm. It also means you must regularly collect energy from the Lightning Rods as each Lightning Rod is only functional when it is not currently storing energy.
If a Lightning Rod has the energy it has gathered from a storm that has not been collected, it is no longer capable of storing energy.
If the Lightning Rods on your farm currently are empty, then they will definitely collect any energy available during a storm; however, if half of your Lightning Rods are already storing energy, the chance of more energy being stored reduces to 75% chance.
Lightning Rods are essential not only to protect your farm from avoidable damage during a storm but also can be used to create a range of exciting items using the Battery Packs that the Lightning Rods can create (Especially the Farm Computer)
It is definitely advisable to place multiple Lightning Rods around your farm and to regularly collect Battery Packs from them in order to best protect your farm!
