Power Pack Recharger
Sarna News
Power Pack Rechargers are used to recharge Power Packs, either by plugging into a local energy grid or producing power of their own, recharging them at a set amount per hour and can be use as a direct supply of energy in their own right.[1][2]

Recharger Types
Standard Recharger
Standard Rechargers plug into a standard electrical outlet and draw energy from the local electrical system in order to recharge power packs. Each recharger can accommodate only one pack.[1]
Heavy-Duty Recharger
Heavy-Duty Rechargers function identically to standard rechargers but can accommodate up to five power packs at one time.[1]
Fossil Fuel Recharger
A Fossil Fuel Recharger uses petroleum fuel to run a two- or four-stroke which runs a dynamo to recharge up to three power packs at once.[1]
Kinetic Recharger
A Kinetic Recharger operates similarly to a fossil fuel recharger, except instead of an engine the dynamo is manually driven by a crank.[1]
Solar Recharger
Solar Rechargers are the most expensive yet most efficient of power pack rechargers available in the Inner Sphere. It is able to accommodate up to five power packs at once and draws power from the ultraviolet light produce by a solar system's primary star. It is also a rare device and its usefulness severely impacted if its source of power is blocked by clouds or other obstructions.[1]
Fusion Recharger
Fusion Rechargers utilize a small, lightweight fusion reactor which requires no fuel and very little maintenance to recharge up to five power packs at once, making them extremely useful for extended field operations. While these rechargers became virtually extinct after the First Succession War in the Inner Sphere, the Clans maintained these devices and use them regularly.[2]
