Atomic Batteries are one of the most essential items in Atomfall. The main story requires you to have them to progress further, and some areas containing rare loot are hidden by buildings that need to be powered up by them. Read on to find all Atomic Batteries and the best places to find them.
Atomic Batteries are required to progress the main quest of the game.

Atomic Battery Uses¶
Atomic Batteries can be obtained from a variety of sources, including but not limited to Traders, Robots, found in the open maps, found in locked bunkers and buildings, and many more. You’ll need at least five to fully explore The Interchange, although one will be given to you inside for free.
The rest are used to progress the various Leads that you’ll encounter. Finally, some can be used to access specific buildings or rooms that require power, normally leading to BARD Crates or 
Training Stimulants, sometimes even a weapon.
Traders¶
There are three Traders you can barter with for an 
Atomic Battery. These are costly, so expect to trade a fair amount of loot to get them to agree to the trade. We recommend trading duplicate skill books/recipes or excess weapons for it.
| Trader | Location | Map Location |
|---|---|---|
| Molly Jowett | Slatten Dale Trader Camp | Map Marker |
| Billy Gorse | Casterfell Woods Trader Camp | Map Marker |
| Nora Thorndike | Skethermoor - Nora’s Barn | Map Marker |
Some Traders will barter their Atomic Battery if they like what you have to offer.
Robots¶
Depending on how far you are through the game, you would have seen large hulking Robots roaming around the areas. These are powerful hostile machines, but if you manage to defeat them, you can loot their Atomic Batteries from them.
To do this, disable them by shooting their Visors on their head, which will limit their vision. If they have a flamethrower, attacking their canisters will briefly stop them from using it. Finally, you can shoot their battery on their back. After enough damage has been done to them, you will get a prompt to extract their batteries.

Specific Locations¶
The Batteries listed below can either be found outside on the map or inside one of the many Landmarks/Buildings in the game. Go to the location on the map to find the battery.
| Location | Notes | Map Location |
|---|---|---|
| Wyndham Village - St. Katherine’s Church |
Kill or blackmail Vicar McHenry for his Key that unlocks the chest on the upper floor of the Church. | Map Marker |
| Casterfell Woods - Casterfell Dam | On the floor inside the electrified fenced-off area. | Map Marker |
| Casterfell Woods - Castle Ruins | On the ledge overlooking the glowing chasm, where you find the High Priestess. | Map Marker |
| Skethermoor - Near Nora’s Barn | Found in a destroyed robot in the middle of the small body of water northwest of Nora’s Barn. | Map Marker |
| Skethermoor - Vehicle Storage Bunker | On a crate in the corner inside the Vehicle Bunker Storeroom. Requires a Key to enter it. | Map Marker |
| The Interchange - Central Processor | Found by a dead researcher by the control console. | Map Marker |
| The Interchange - Oberon Dig Site | A battery can be found in a shipping container at the northern side of the dig site. | Map Marker |
This Atomic Battery is in the electrified fenced-off area near the Castefell Dam.
That’s it for the Atomic Battery locations. The easiest ones to get are the three from the Traders, one in the pool of water north of Nora’s Barn in Skethermoor, and the last one in the Central Processor room in The Interchange. This should be enough to do most, if not all, of the story and leads. The extra ones can be used for loot or barter options.
