The Z-200 Rechargeable Battery Bank is a battery that stores 200 units of electrical charge for a spacecraft.

Since the Z-100 and the Z-400 battery packs are both massless and cause no drag, it is almost always preferable to use one of them instead of these round battery banks. In addition, the Z-200 is by far the most expensive battery in terms of cost per unit charge, meaning that unless you just need to save space, have no other mounting options, or do not have access to any other batteries, it is probably best to avoid this unit.

Product description

It can be used as a structural element (unlike the radial-mounted batteries), and the round shape and attachment nodes make it fit better into some rocket designs.

The Z-200 is a stackable variant of the Z-100 battery pack, with increased capacity. In emergency situations, please refrain from "reversing the polarity".
