Power Packs are portable, standardized energy sources used to provide power for energy weapons and electronic devices in the thirty-first 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]

Standard Power Packs[edit]
Standard power packs come in several types depending on their role and are the cheapest, most readily available batteries within the Inner Sphere.
Power Pack[edit]
The common Power Pack is typically the size of a pistol's grip, making it easy to store. While it provides enough of a charge for most electronic devices, it will be quickly drained after only a few shots from most energy weapons.[1]
