How to Get Batteries in Arknights Endfield

What to know

• Batteries are manufactured items, not world loot
• LC Valley Batteries are made inside the AIC factory system
• The Packaging Unit is mandatory for battery production
• Automation saves time and prevents power bottlenecks

Batteries, including LC Valley Batteries, are one of the first materials that force you to engage properly with industrial production in Arknights: Endfield. You cannot mine or pick them up in the open world. Instead, they are produced through factory recipes using the Automated Industry Complex (AIC).

If you’ve reached the LC Valley section and followed the tutorial prompts shown in your screenshots, the game is intentionally teaching you how batch production works. This guide walks through the full process, from understanding batteries to automating them at scale.

What batteries are used for in Endfield

Batteries act as energy and progression components rather than consumable items. They are most commonly required for:

• Powering and unlocking facilities
• Completing main story and tutorial objectives
• Advancing factory infrastructure
• Supporting mid-game automation chains

Unlike ores or raw minerals, batteries always sit at the end of a production chain, which makes them a good test of whether your logistics setup is working correctly.

Item produced	LC Valley Battery
Production method	Factory-only
Required facility	Packaging Unit
Core inputs	Originium Powder, Amethyst Parts
Automation	Conveyor belts (recommended)
Manual pickup	Yes (early game)

Why batteries cannot be looted or crafted manually

Early on, Endfield clearly separates field gameplay from industrial gameplay. Batteries fall entirely into the second category.

• They do not spawn in zones
• Enemies do not drop them
• Crafting benches cannot produce them

This design ensures you learn how to:

• Route materials
• Read factory UIs
• Understand input/output logic

If you skip this system, later chapters become frustratingly slow.

The role of the Packaging Unit in battery production

The Packaging Unit is the facility that converts processed materials into finished industrial items, including batteries and explosives.

Functionally, it:

• Accepts tagged industrial inputs
• Runs timed production cycles
• Outputs finished packaged products

Materials required to make LC Valley Batteries

Before production can begin, you must already have access to the correct processed materials.

Required inputs

• Originium Powder
• Amethyst Parts

These are not raw resources. Each one requires its own upstream processing.

How to get Originium Powder

Originium Powder is produced by refining Originium-based materials.

Typical flow:

1. Mine Originium Ore in the field
2. Process it through refining facilities
3. Output Originium Powder to factory logistics

Without a stable Originium Powder line, battery production will stall.

How to get Amethyst Parts

Amethyst Parts come from Amethyst Ore, which appears slightly later than basic minerals.

Typical flow:

1. Mine Amethyst Ore
2. Process it through intermediate industry facilities
3. Output Amethyst Parts for use in advanced recipes

This resource is commonly used across electronics and power-related items, so scaling it early is a smart move.

How to feed materials into the Packaging Unit

Once you have both materials, they must be delivered to the Packaging Unit’s input ports.

You have two options:

Manual delivery

• Open your backpack
• Place Originium Powder and Amethyst Parts directly into the unit

Automated delivery (recommended)

• Place conveyor belts between facilities
• Connect outputs from refiners to the Packaging Unit input
• Confirm belt placement and direction

How to start battery production

Once materials are present:

1. Open the Packaging Unit interface
2. Select the LC Valley Battery recipe
3. Confirm production

The unit will begin processing automatically. You can monitor:

• Production time
• Input consumption
• Output quantity

How to collect finished batteries

After production completes:

1. Open the Packaging Unit interface
2. Locate the output section
3. Transfer LC Valley Batteries to your Backpack or storage

During early quests, the game explicitly asks you to move batteries into your backpack to continue objectives.

Later, you can route outputs directly into depots.

How to automate battery production fully

Automation is where battery production truly shines.

A fully automated chain looks like this:

• Mining facility → Refining unit → Conveyor belts
• Refining unit → Packaging Unit
• Packaging Unit → Storage or power facility

Once set up:

• No manual transfers are required
• Production continues as long as inputs exist
• Batteries accumulate passively

This setup is essential for mid- and late-game factory scaling.

Common mistakes when producing batteries

• Forgetting to process raw ore into parts
• Feeding only one required material
• Misaligned conveyor belt directions
• Not collecting output before storage fills

If production stalls, always check:

• Input availability
• Belt connections
• Storage capacity

Why battery production matters long-term

LC Valley Batteries are not just a tutorial item. They introduce you to:

• Multi-stage production chains
• Factory dependency planning
• Power-related resource management

Later industrial recipes reuse this logic at larger scales, often with more inputs and longer cycles.

Battery production in Endfield

Learning how to get batteries is really about learning how Endfield wants you to think. You’re not just crafting an item—you’re designing a system.

Once your Packaging Unit is supplied with Originium Powder and Amethyst Parts, battery production becomes predictable, scalable, and hands-off. That reliability is what allows you to focus on exploration, combat, and story instead of micromanaging resources.

If your factory runs smoothly, batteries will never be a bottleneck again.
