A '''plasma battery''' is a form of [[Covenant]] power cell. | A '''plasma battery''' is a form of [[Covenant]] power cell. They were used by the Covenant to power all forms of equipment under the size of a [[capital ship]] or [[Covenant citadel|citadel]]. Plasma batteries encapsulate high-energy [[plasma]] in a containment cell and could be recharged from generators. Plasma batteries vary wildly in size and shape, but are among the most standardized components used by Covenant technology and have remained relatively unchanged in function for several centuries. They rely on internal mechanisms that are both arcane and highly dangerous to replicate.{{Ref/Book|Id=EN|Enc22|Page=221}} | ||
The '''Vantus- | The '''''Vantus''-pattern eolipile''' is a prominent type of plasma battery distinguished by its triple-pronged shape. They were widely used by Covenant [[Covenant military|ground forces]] to recharge their weaponry and vehicles on the field. They were lightweight in construction and could be recharged at almost any generator, but their lack of shielding made them quite vulnerable to damage and explosive containment failure.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/into-the-storm '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Into the Storm'']</ref> | ||
Plasma furnaces were small, high-output plasma batteries used by the Covenant for specialized applications, such as [[Sangheili]] [[combat harness]]es and [[Covenant portable shield|deployable shields]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} | |||
