How to Recharge Batteries and Energy




Break Crates

Battery from a Crate

Batteries can usually be found inside crates decorated with banners. Picking up a Battery will fully recharge your energy gauge. If your energy gauge is full, it will replenish a used Battery in your inventory.

These crates can often be found in outposts and can be destroyed with an attack.

Attack Obstacles and Enemies in Flight Mode Battles

Into the Fray Getting Zonai Devices

For Flight Mode Battles, Big Batteries can be obtained by defeating enemies or destroying obstacles. These will then recharge your equipped Zonai devices.

How to Do Flight Mode Battles

Use a Battery

If there aren't any crates nearby, you can use a Battery from your inventory to recharge your energy gauge. You can assign it to one of your R shoulder button actions or you can simply press the right button on the D-pad and use the Battery from there.

You can increase the amount of Batteries you can hold by completing the A Wandering Korok! quest and the A Construct Assault in the Sky challenge.

Enter a Camp

Entering a camp may replenish your used Batteries. Camps are marked on the map by a yellow tent icon, but you can only enter a camp once the outpost it's in is blue, meaning it's on your side.

Camp Guide: All Features and How to Set Up

Use Energy Gauge Seals

Recharge Energy Gauge Every 100 KOs Recharge Energy Gauge Every 100 KOs

If you have the Recharge Energy Gauge Every 100 KOs seal attached to your weapon, you can automatically recharge your energy gauge as you defeat enemies. This generally isn't the best seal to use on weapons, but if you tend to use Zonai devices a lot, it may be useful to you.

Seals can be attached to weapons by enhancing weapons at the Weapons Research Base.

You can use 6 Bonus Vouchers in order to activate the Reduce Zonai Device Energy Consumption by 50% effect for the duration of a battle. This is best used for battles where you expect to make use of Zonai devices a lot, such as those with a lot of elemental enemies.

This effect can be activated through the Bonus Exchange at any camp once it is on your side.

Bonus Exchange Guide

What Uses Energy and Batteries?

Zonai Devices

Zonai devices consume energy as long as you're holding on to it. Once set down, a Zonai device will no longer consume your energy.

Best Zonai Devices to Use

Knight Construct and Mineru Strong Attacks

You can assign Zonai devices for certain strong attacks for the Knight Construct character. Executing these strong attacks will use up energy, since they use Zonai devices.

The same thing can be done for Mineru once you've completed her quest, Endless Trial and Error.
