Fission Battery (Fallout 3)

Fission Battery is one of the ingredients in constructing the Railway Rifle.

Functionality
The Term "Fission Battery" seems to imply that its functionality is somehow linked to the process of nuclear fission, which is used to generate nuclear energy and constitutes the basis for any nuclear weapon. Even though the exact workings of this item are never explained, it demonstrates the obsession of the pre-war society of Fallout 3 with any nuclear equipment (see also: Divergence). As the batteries can often be found in robots, they seem to be their primary energy source. After more than 200 years of inaction, some of the robots can be reactivated, demonstrating that the batteries are a very reliable energy storage.

Item Locations
Fission Batteries can be found all over the wastes, usually in Tool Boxes or destroyed Robots.
