item_battery is a point entity available in Half-Life 2 series.

Description

This item charges up the HEV suit by 15 energy points (regardless of the difficulty setting).

The amount of power given by the battery can be changed with the console command sk_battery [int]. The command also affects how much power will be given in HL2 by Stunsticks, as picking one up will provide 50% of the value of sk_battery.^[1] As it is rounded down, by default the player receives 7 points of charge.

Npc_cscanner and Npc_clawscanner both have 30% chance of dropping an item_battery upon being destroyed, unless they have the spawnflag "Don't drop weapons".^[2]

Placement Tip:Place this entity at least one unit above its resting surface to prevent its position from being disturbed in-game.
