The Box of Batteries is a sealed retail box holding twelve batteries. It is the easiest way to stock up on power for flashlights, radios and other small electronics.

One box covers a long stretch of night lighting and radio listening. It packs twelve batteries into a single item, which keeps the inventory tidy. Opening it is quick.

Boxes of batteries are common in electronics stores and always found in battery factories. The Electrician is the best occupation for electronics. It starts with the most Electrical skill. The Engineer also starts with some Electrical skill.

Using

The Unpack Box recipe opens the box and gives twelve Battery items. A double click on the box does the same.

The Pack Items in Box recipe works the other way. It packs twelve loose batteries back into a box. That is handy for storing spares at a base.

Each Battery inside runs a flashlight, radio or walkie talkie for a long time. A full box keeps a base supplied with power for small devices.
