Battery - Small

Not much, honestly. The game describes it in two words, no recipe crafts it, and nothing on the item list takes it as an ingredient. It looks like a leftover from an older version of the game that never got cleaned out.

The name does trip up players who are just getting into electricity. The battery you wire into a base is the small rechargeable battery, a separate item made from high quality metal at a Level 1 bench. That one stores power from a panel or a generator and feeds your lights or a turret after dark. When you need more storage, a medium rechargeable battery is the next step up.

So if one of these turns up in your inventory, there is nothing to plan around it. The rest of the resources are where the real crafting materials sit.
