Battery Crate

The Battery Crate is a Covenant ground container.

Introduction
Roughly rectangular in size, purple in color, and inlaid with luminous electronics, they are highly explosive, detonating upon fire.

They are believed to be the Covenant analog for the UNSC fusion core, and have the same explosive properties, except the detonation of a battery crate results in a cyan plasma explosion, not an orange one. The detonation resulting in destruction is sufficient enough to severely wound or kill individual Elites or Brutes, as well as entire clutches of Grunts and flocks of Jackals.

Miniature Battery Crate-like Device


In the campaign of Halo 3, there also appears to be a miniature battery crate like device, that may or may not be Covenant in origin, but has similar explosive properties. The resulting explosion from destruction is not as massive as its larger cousin and therefore not apt to eliminate more heavily armored targets, but the blast is sufficient enough to wound or even kill unshielded opponents such as Grunts or Jackals.

((NOTE: It is recommended that this section become it's own article once more information and a name for this device is found.))

Appearances
Battery crates are ubiquitous, and a substantial number are found at all Covenant troop concentrations. The list below is incomprehensive.
