It might also be worth pointing out that graphite and lithium ions (at
least outside of an aqueous environment) are well outside the parameter
space of any of the AMBER force fields. Presumably you have another one
in mind?

I'm trying to simulate a half lithium battery with elements ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, lithium ions and graphitic sheets. I loaded all .mol2 files for my system in antechamber separately and obtained .frcmod files. But, the .frcmod files don't have but one or two values per file. Where I don't have values the prompt "ATTN, need revision" appears. A copy of it is pasted below. I read on one of the tutorials that if this happens I will need to fill in the 'zeros' and estimate these values on my own. Does anyone have the same problem while doing this as well? Is there something Im missing? A response would be really appreciated.
