Battery

2018-11-07T20:57:17Z

GunnerWolf: /* History */ Added change from patch notes for 0.16.51

{{Languages}}
{{:Infobox:Battery}}
''This article is about the battery intermediate product. For the modular armor equipment, see [[Personal battery]] and [[Personal battery MK2]]. For the technology, see [[battery (research)]].''

The '''battery''' is an intermediate product used in several key recipes, including the [[high tech science pack]] which is required for late-game research, and the [[flying robot frame]], which is required to build [[logistic robot|logistic]] and [[construction robot]]s.

Furthermore, batteries are a crucial component of powering a factory using [[solar panel|solar power]] because of their use in crafting [[accumulator]]s. Batteries are also used for defense, as they are needed to make [[laser turret]]s, which is the only [[turret]] that uses electricity instead of ammunition in item or fluid form.

== History ==
{{history|0.16.51|
* Changed the battery item icon to be more consistent with the technology icon.
}}

{{history|0.15.0|
* Research overhaul. Battery is no longer required for [[Science pack 3]] and is now required for [[High tech science pack]].
}}
