How to improve batteries in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - battery upgrade explained

radiotimes.com:

Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dropped last week, and it introduced us to a new type of stamina to be aware of – the stamina of our tech. Basically, battery life. As if we didn't have to worry about that in the real world!

Love it or loathe it, Breath of the Wild's stamina wheel was an integral part of the gameplay. Whether we were running, swimming, gliding, or attacking, we had to take stamina into consideration. This is still the case in Tears of the Kingdom, and now you've got to think about your battery health as well.

You'll be given an Energy Cell in an early tutorial, which provides power to the Zonai devices we use throughout the game, such as cars and boats. The hitch is that when it runs out of energy, we have to stop and wait for it to refill. It can be a drag, but it doesn't have to be like this forever. There is a way to upgrade it.

Read on to find out how.

As you're likely already aware, your battery life indicator has three cells of power that deplete over time (a lot like our phones in the old days).

These are called Energy Wells, and they're indicated inside a battery symbol. Very retro. However, you can upgrade your maximum charge by collecting Crystalized Charges and using them to produce new Energy Wells.
