Basically, battery life. As if we didn\u2019t have to worry about that in the real world!<\/p>\n<p>Love it or loathe it, Breath of the Wild\u2019s stamina wheel was an integral part of the gameplay. Whether we were running, swimming, gliding, or attacking, we had to take stamina into consideration. This is still the case in Tears of the Kingdom, and now you\u2019ve got to think about your battery health as well.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be given an Energy Cell in an early tutorial, which provides power to the Zonai devices we use throughout the game, such as cars and boats. The hitch is that when it runs out of energy, we have to stop and wait for it to refill. It can be a drag, but it doesn\u2019t have to be like this forever. There is a way to upgrade it.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to find out how.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to improve batteries in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For a decent visual guide on upgrading your battery charge in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, definitely check out the video from Trophygamers below.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Zelda\" tears=\"\" of=\"\" the=\"\" kingdom=\"\" how=\"\" and=\"\" where=\"\" to=\"\" upgrade=\"\" battery=\"\" charges=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/93jIAiCStcg?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" web-share=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>As you\u2019re likely already aware, your battery life indicator has three cells of power that deplete over time (a lot like our phones in the old days).<\/p>\n<p>These are called Energy Wells, and they\u2019re indicated inside a battery symbol. Very retro. However, you can upgrade your maximum charge by collecting Crystalized Charges and using them to produce new Energy Wells.<\/p> <p>To upgrade your battery charge, you\u2019ll need to do the following:<\/p>\n<ul><li><strong>Collect 100 Crystalized Charges<\/strong> (this is how much you\u2019ll need to produce one Energy Well). It\u2019s a gruelling task of mining and trading, but we reckon it\u2019s worth it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Go to a Crystal Refinery<\/strong>. There are a few scattered around the map, but \u2013 as shown in the video \u2013 there\u2019s one just to the south of Hyrule Castle Town Ruins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Talk to the Steward Construct<\/strong>, and get producing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering where to find those Crystalized Charges, the place to look is the Depths. This dark underground area is the easiest place to mine resources.<\/p>\n<p>You also get a healthy delivery of Crystalized Charges when you pick up the <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/autobuild-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Autobuild ability<\/a> down there in the Depths. Defeating robotic baddies, the rogue Constructs littered around the map, will also reward you with charges.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll soon have the super battery power that you wish you had in real life!<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"6327096131112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/> <p><strong>Read more on Tears of the Kingdom:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-shrine-locations\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot;
