This article is about the item. For the pickup, see Batteries. For other uses, see Battery (Disambiguation).

The Battery is a passive item.

Effects

  • Activated items can be overcharged, allowing them to store up to one extra use.
    • Extra charges appear in yellow over the normal charge meter.

Notes

  • (in Rebirth and Afterbirth) The Battery does not affect self-recharging activated items.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Picking up a Lil' Battery.pngLil' Battery while the held activated item's main charge bar isn't full will only fill the main charge bar without adding overcharge.

Synergies
