Knowing where to find a battery for the Trash into Treasure Arc Raiders quest shouldn't be that hard. But with an element of RNG combined with the fact this is something you'll be doing while pretty green, means it could leave you hanging. Once you know where to look, however, and what you're looking for, you should be able to get a battery easily, and tick this quest for Shani off.
Where to find a battery in Arc Raiders
A battery is Uncommon loot that can be found in Technological or Electrical areas, as laid out in our Arc Raiders Loot Cheat Sheet (which you might want to bookmark for any other loot you need to find).
It's a requirement of a mission for Shani, Trash into Treasure, where you need to find six wires and one battery. The wires are easy, and you'll probably have more than you need before you know it, but the battery? That's down to luck and a lot of rummaging around.
Because a battery is found in Technological or Electrical areas you obviously want to target those on the map. However, the best luck I've had has been in the substation areas, like this one on Dam Battlegrounds.
Head to any of the big electrical powerstation areas but don't worry too much about the main structures. Instead, look for the smaller shed like buildings you'll find scattered around them. You'll find at least one or two things to search inside each of those. That won't change the RNG but it will give you more rolls of the dice every time you have a look.
If you turn over enough of the little buildings around any substation or power station area you should find a battery fairly quickly. However, if you don't want to search you can also get a battery if you scap any of the following items, which breakdown into a battery and wires
Item | Location | Rarity |
|---|---|---|
Broken Taser | Security | Rare |
Portable TV | Residential | Rare |
Power Bank | Electrical, Commercial or Residential | Rare |
You can also buy a battery from Celeste when you hit level 7, but seeing as this is only the second quest you get, you might not want to wait that long. However you eventually get one, head over to Shani once you have the battery and wires to turn it in, getting some XP, a Tactical MK.1 augment to change up your carrying capacity, and three adrenaline shots.
