How to charge items with batteries in Lethal Company

Let there be light.

In Lethal Company, you can certainly try to navigate the abyssal factories without a light source, but why on Earth would you want to? If you have the credits, you can buy a flashlight, but all good things — in this case, the flashlight’s battery — must come to an end eventually.

Locate the recharging station

You can recharge items and tools requiring batteries in Lethal Company on your ship, simply equip the item or tool and interact with the wall panel resembling a stovetop. You’ll know it’s the right wall panel when a message in white text appears reading: “Requires battery-powered item.” If you have an item or tool to recharge, you should be able to do so by holding the “E” key on your keyboard.

What items are battery-powered in Lethal Company?

In knowing how to recharge battery-powered items, it might help to know what items are powered by batteries in Lethal Company. Now, it’s important to note this list could change at any time given the game is still in early access and therefore this list could get longer or shorter in the future. But, as of now, here’s a list of battery-powered items available in the store:

  • Walkie-Talkie
  • Flashlight
  • Pro-Flashlight
  • Boombox
  • Zap-Gun
  • Jetpack

As said above, this list could expand or retract once future updates are deployed. If more battery-powered items are added to Lethal Company, we’ll update this list as necessary.
