Battery Canteens Level 1 - 100 Usable Item Holds a maximum of 3 charges Currently holds 0 charges Each charge lasts 5 seconds Don't let the name fool you: These aren't actual battery canteens capable of converting stored chemical energy into electrical energy. They're just regular canteens that look identical to your water canteen and are filled with battery acid.

The Battery Canteens are an action item used in the Mann vs. Machine game mode. Its functions are identical to those of the Power Up Canteen. Once filled at an Upgrade Station it is valid for up to three uses. Using the Canteens will alert the entire team via a sound cue as well as a message in the chat box.

The Battery Canteens also double as a cosmetic item, showing up on a class's model, on the belt. Unlike the regular Power-Up Canteen, it only appears as "full" or "empty"; one cannot tell by looking what type of charge it is filled with.

A Medic with the 'Share Power Ups' upgrade for their Medi Gun will apply the effects of their Canteens to the current patient. This will not work if the Canteens are activated while not healing an ally.

This item was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Robo Quant-een".
