Fusion core (Fallout 4)

Fusion core is an items type in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
Fusion cores are used to power and activate Pre-war suits of power armor. Each core provides roughly twenty minutes of power armor use based on activity; sprinting causes the power to drain much faster, whereas walking consumes less power.

Fusion core lifespan can be extended by 10% by collecting the Repair bobblehead, and by up to 100% by investing points in the Nuclear Physicist perk.

Fusion cores can be recharged by putting them into generators.
