Battery (Below Zero)

Batteries are electronic items crafted using a Fabricator.

Batteries are used to craft electronic tools and pieces of equipment, providing them with Energy. Batteries can hold up to 100 Energy, which is drained when using Battery-powered tools. Batteries can be swapped out or removed from tools by equipping the tool and pressing. The player is forced to remain stationary during the interval.

In Below Zero, the battery recipe is altered and now requires Ribbon Plants rather than the Acid Mushrooms of the first game.

The Battery can be charged in the Battery Charger, or an equipped tool can be recharged with Swim Charge Fins. These allow the player to recharge their tools without having to continuously craft new Batteries.

The Ion Battery is a modified, higher capacity version of the Battery, which can hold up to 500 Energy.

Recipe
The blueprint for this item is unlocked when the player enters Drop Pod. It is crafted in the Fabricator.

Trivia

 * A battery with less than 100% charge can be used when fabricating a tool, which will provide a tool with 100% charge.
