The '''Z-4K Rechargeable Battery Bank''' is a [[battery]] that stores 4000 units of [[Electric charge|electrical charge]] for a spacecraft. It stores 40 times the charge of the [[Z-100 Rechargeable Battery Pack]], and has 40 times the mass. It can be used as a structural element, and fits in a [[Radial size|size-2]] stack.

It can be used as a structural element (unlike the radial batteries), and the round shape and attachment nodes make it fit better into some rocket designs.
 
 
 
Since the [[Z-100 Rechargeable Battery Pack|Z-100]] and the [[Z-400 Rechargeable Battery|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.
