Power Sources
Many pieces of pre-War technology rely on advanced power sources in order to function. While many of these power sources have been damaged, destroyed, or permanently depleted over the last century and a half, diligent scavengers still regularly pull them from the wreckage of the old world.

Energy Cell
An energy cell is a thin, rectangular battery used to power consumer electronics and light energy weapons.

Fusion Core
Fusion cores are a pre-War military-grade power source used to power advanced energy weapons and power armor. Fusion cores had a limited number of civilian applications as well, such as providing emergency backup power in case of an outage in a critical location, such as a hospital. They are roughly cylindrical in shape and approximately six inches in length.

Microfusion Cell
Microfusion cells are miniaturized nuclear batteries used primarily to power energy weapons. A microfusion cell is typically bright yellow with a black band around the positive end, and is roughly the size of a D-cell battery.

Power Backpack
The bulkiest of portable power sources, the power backpack is a heavy, rigid pack containing a large fuel cell. It can power any normal electronic device and most energy weapons, barring those demanding a fusion core.
