Drained Small Energy Cell

The drained small energy cell is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A drained small energy cell is the byproduct of a spent energy cell. Identical in appearance to the charged version, they are energy cells with very little charge left in them. Not enough to power a shot from an energy weapon, but enough that, if a player gathers more of them, the remaining charge can be pooled together to make fresh, usable cells.

Recipes
Recycling; small energy cells - With a Science skill of 10, a player can pool the leftover charge from 4 drained energy cells to make a fully-charged and usable energy cell.
 * Requires: Science 10, 4 drained energy cells
 * Creates: 1 small energy cell

Efficient recycling; small energy cells - With a Science skill of 35 and the Vigilant Recycler perk, a player can wring a little extra charge out of each drained cell, reducing the number of Drained Cells needed to make new ones.
 * Requires: Science 35; Vigilant Recycler; 3 drained energy cells
 * Creates: 1 small energy cell

Honest Hearts adds the following recipe requiring drained small energy cells to the workbench.

Conversion; fission battery to small energy cells - With a Science skill of 45, a player can transfer the stored energy in a battery into drained energy cells.
 * Requires: Science 45; 1 fission battery, 5 drained energy cells

 * You may get a drained energy cell when you fire a weapon that uses the energy cell based on the type of ammunition you use.
