The Battery Canteens are a community-created action item. It is a mechanical apparatus with two light bulbs on the top, a screen on the front, a button on the left side, and a gray tank with an antenna on top and a gauge on the bottom on the right side. When "filled" with a power-up, the screen displays a caution sign, and several parts of the item light up.

This item functions identically to the Power Up Canteen; however, unlike the Power Up Canteen that indicates what power-up it is charged with, the Battery Canteens only appear as "full" or "empty", being impossible to tell by looking at the model what type of charge it is currently filled with.

The Battery Canteens were contributed to the Steam Workshop.
