This small battery charger can charge 2 battery cells at once. Players start the game with one small battery charger in their Construction Supplies 2 Box.

## Tips

It's wise to set this up with the starting [Battery Cell (Large)](/wiki/battery-cell-large) in order to prevent running out of suit power by the second day.

## Power Consumption

Each charging battery will draw 400 Watts. The maximum amount of power needed for two batteries is 800 Watts. Connecting the battery charger to heavy cables will not increase the charging rate.
It consumes 5 Watt standby power when switched on regardless of the number of batteries connected.
