| Description |
| A small battery. Has a capacity over 8x larger than a GSO battery, although it doesn't come cheap. |
The GeoCorp Battery Pack is a grade 3 Power block manufactured by GeoCorp. Like all GeoCorp blocks, it can be crafted with a GeoCorp Fabricator.
It has 24 attachment point(s) and takes up 8 cell(s).
Usage[]
The GeoCorp Battery Pack has a massive capacity. True to the description, this is indeed higher than eight times of a GSO Small Battery Cell, as per block unit, it stores 1750 units while the GSO one only stores 1500. Unlike most GeoCorp blocks, it is not very tough and can't handle as much punishment as the rest of their standard blocks. However, the large capacity makes up for it, allowing chargers, shields, and repair bubbles to continue functioning for extended periods. This also enhances the efficiency of most Generators (save for the EXP dynamo generator, where smaller techs are more advantageous) and particularly, solar generators, as more of the generated energy can be stored, therefore maximizing the potential of their abilities to be saved for anytime when they can't function. The size of it restricts its usage to only larger techs and even just entire bases. From just a high-capacity charging station, to an impenetrable behemoth, the choice is yours.
Trivia[]
- The GeoCorp Battery Pack is currently the second largest single-unit battery in the entire game and is tied with the Hawkeye Ion Battery for the second-highest energy stored per block unit, only barely surpassed by the Better Future Battery. In terms of attachment points, however, the GeoCorp Battery pack still beats the Hawkeye one - A single ion Battery has only six, effectively preventing them to be placed as a group without the interference of additional blocks. It is also lighter. The Ion Battery has a mass of 8 per unit, which makes 4 of them 32, while a single GeoCorp Battery Pack takes the same amount of space yet with only three quarters of the mass.
- The description claims that the Battery Pack is a "Small Battery", implying that batteries manufactured by GeoCorp comes in different sizes and they do make larger batteries with an even higher capacity.
- Before 1.3.10.0, it was the largest battery per single unit, taking up a total of eight blocks. This is tied with the GeoCorp Anchored Furnace Generator and the GeoCorp repair bubble as the third-largest power blocks.
- After that update, it became the second-largest battery due to the GeoCorp Gluon Mega Battery being added to the game.
