The Battery is an artifact featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Appearances[]

Shadow of Chernobyl[]

The origin of this object is shrouded in scientific mystery. It's clear that it's made in part by di-electric elements, but science does not know the physical conditions in which it is formed.
― Battery in-game description

The Battery is spawned in gravitational anomalies, has the same appearance than its other renditions and gives electrical protection.

It gives a +30% bonus in electrical protection, and has no downsides whatsoever. This makes it a valuable artifact to use through anomalies, especially when combined. As well, they can enable suit repairing if the player combines four or more of them: four Electro batteries enable suit repair in Electro anomalies.

Acquisition[]

Clear Sky[]

The origin of this item remains a scientific enigma. It is only known that its composition includes dielectric elements, but scientists have yet to identify the exact physical conditions required for its formation. The artifact is popular in the Zone and valued by its residents and visitors for its restorative abilities. Emits radiation.
― In-game description

The Battery returns in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, assuming the appearance of an artifact of electrical original. It acts as a common artifact providing a +2 in endurance regeneration, allowing the player to run for more time before having to rest, although it also gives a +2 in radiation making the artifact semi-useful.

Acquisition[]

The artifact is found in Electro anomalies.

Call of Pripyat[]

The composition of this artifact includes electrostatic elements, but scientists have yet to identify the exact physical conditions required for its formation. The artifact is popular in the Zone and valued by its residents and visitors for its energizing properties, although it can tire the body out through prolonged use. Emits radiation.
― In-game description

The Battery returns in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, again as a common artifact giving a +2 in endurance regeneration and a +1 in radiation. The boost given is nearly unsignificant, meaning the player could well sell it and buy something more helpful.

Acquisition[]

The Battery can be found in electrical anomaly fiels; the Jupiter warehouse in Jupiter spawns one by default.

Beard also sell Batteries after completing the Compass mission.

Trivia[]

  • The appearance of the Battery, Shell and Spring artifacts may be based on the "Full Empty" and "Empty", which are artifacts described in the book Roadside Picnic by Arkady & Boris Strugatsky - which served as an inspiration for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. "Empties"  are described as two copper-colored discs held together by an invisible, passable, but not separable field. "Full Empties" are described, again, as two copper-colored discs held together instead by a bluish material inbetween the discs.
  • In Shadow of Chernobyl, the Shell is also named "Battery" as a result of an oversight by the developers.
