The drained electron charge pack is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics[]

A drained electron charge pack is the byproduct of a spent electron charge pack. Identical in appearance to the charged version, they are electron charge packs with very little charge left in them. Not enough to power a shot from an energy weapon, but enough that, if a player character gathers more of them, the remaining charge can be pooled together to make fresh, usable packs.
