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 "reload" button: this will bring up a display where the player can scroll through their other batteries to select one, or select the "X" to remove the battery and leave the tool without one.+ +Ryley cannot move while swapping batteries.+ +Batteries can be charged in a Battery Charger, or through an equipped tool with Swim Charge Fins. Chargers have to be installed in a powered seabase or Cyclops first, but the latter allows tools and batteries to be charged during use.+ +## Ion Battery+ +The Ion Battery is a modified, higher capacity version of the Battery, which can hold up to 500 Energy.+ +## Recipe+ +![Acid Mushroom](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/Acid_Mushroom.png/54px-Acid_Mushroom.png?e585d) ![Copper Ore](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/Copper_Ore.png/54px-Copper_Ore.png?40b49) → ![Fabricator](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/Fabricator.png/54px-Fabricator.png?61cad) → ![Battery](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/Battery.png/54px-Battery.png?bb245)+ +### Uses In Crafting+ +Note that in all the below cases, the charge level of the battery or batteries used in the recipe has no bearing on the final product: the new item will always start with a charge level of 100%.+ +#### Fabricator+ +*   Power Cell+*   Scanner+*   Flashlight+*   Habitat Builder+*   Laser Cutter+*   Stasis Rifle+*   Propulsion Cannon+*   LED Light+*   Lubricant+*   Seaglide+*   Grav Trap+ +#### Modification Station+ +*   Thermoblade+ +#### Scanner Room+ +*   Camera Drone+ +## Gallery+ +![The Front of the Battery In-Game](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/Screenshot_64.png/200px-Screenshot_64.png?229ce)+The Front of the Battery In-Game+ +![The Back](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/Battery_Back_In-Game.png/200px-Battery_Back_In-Game.png?ae659)+The Back+ +![The Battery built with the Fabricator](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/BatteryCrafted.gif/200px-BatteryCrafted.gif?1d306)+The Battery built with the Fabricator+ +![Concept Art showing the Battery in relation to different tools](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/Tools_Battery.jpg/200px-Tools_Battery.jpg?20411)+Concept Art showing the Battery in relation to different tools+ +## Trivia+ +Depleted batteries can be used in crafting to create tools and power cells that are fully charged. This is an oversight by the developers.+ +As Repair Tools do not require, but comes with a fully charged battery upon fabrication, they can be used to cheaply produce batteries without copper or mushrooms.
