Power Packs are portable, standardized energy sources used to provide power for energy weapons and electronic devices in the 31st Century. They fulfill the need for a permanent power source where plugging into an electrical outlet is inconvenient or unavailable, although the packs themselves will eventually run dry and require recharging, either by plugging into the local power grid or a variety of recharger stations.[1][2]
