At first, I thought I’d have to purchase a new item, but that would be a waste of money. There’s a way to recharge battery-powered items, and we’ll explain how.

Lethal Company: How to recharge battery items like flashlights

There’s a super easy way to recharge any battery items in Lethal Company, and how you do so is by charging it at the wall charger in your ship. I had no idea that this wrapped copper coil was on the wall when I first saw it.

After you go for a run and use up the power in your flashlight or walkie-talkie, you may think you have to go and buy new ones. That isn’t the case. Just walk up to the square charger on the wall of your ship, hold the battery-powered item, and press the “E” key.

You will then place your item on the charger, and it will fully recharge the item. Now you don’t have to worry about needing to purchase new flashlights all the time. You should now see at the top left corner of your screen how much power you recharged. This yellow bar is also good for indicating how much power you have left while you’re using it.

I didn’t understand what this yellow bar indicated at first until I played around with the recharger. This works for anything that uses up battery power, like walkie-talkies and even the pro flashlight. The pro version is better for conserving energy, but it’ll still eventually die of power. Anytime you make a trip back to the ship to sell scrap you should remember to charge all your items.
