The Small Battery is a crafting material in Crimson Desert. Described in-game as "a battery that moves a machine," these compact power cells are dropped by mech enemies found throughout Delesyia. Small Batteries are one of the four materials required to craft the Kuku Watcher Pack, with 200 needed for the recipe.

Small Batteries drop as loot from mech enemies across Delesyia. Both the large mechs and the smaller mechanical enemies drop them, making batteries one of the easiest materials to accumulate in bulk. You will naturally collect many Small Batteries while farming other mechanical components like Electrical Components and Cogwheels in the same region.
The single best location for farming Small Batteries is the Man's Steel Armory in Delesyia. This location has a unique spawn mechanic: as you clear mechs and the area's percentage bar decreases, three small mechs spawn in waves constantly. These small mechs drop large quantities of batteries with each kill. The waves keep coming as long as the percentage bar has not been fully depleted, creating an effective farming loop.
After about 5 to 10 minutes of farming at Man's Steel Armory, you should have hundreds of batteries, far exceeding the 200 needed for the Kuku Watcher Pack recipe. As a bonus, the enemies here also drop Cogwheels and mechanical bugs, so you can collect Clockwork Insects passively at the same time.
Location | Enemy Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Man's Steel Armory | Small mechs (waves) | Best spot. Constant mech waves yield hundreds of batteries in 5-10 minutes. |
Southeast Delesyia (bridge area) | Mixed (big and small mechs) | Good for combining battery farming with Electrical Component farming from big mechs. |
Mech enemies | Secondary location with scattered mech enemies. |
Small Batteries are used in the following crafting recipes:

Small Batteries can also be farmed passively through a dispatch mission at the Aeronautical Research Base. Liberating the Aeronautical Research Base in the open world automatically unlocks its dispatch entry in the camp menu, at which point the base becomes a recurring passive source of small batteries without requiring any further trips back to the location.
Because small batteries are used for a wide variety of mechanical upgrades and late-game gear (including mech systems and Kuku Gear crafting), the Aeronautical Research Base dispatch is one of the most useful late-game passive income streams for camps that have committed to the mech progression path. Keep the mission in rotation alongside Cogwheel Production and Lubricant Production for a complete mechanical resource pipeline.
Man's Steel Armory is the undisputed best farming spot. The constant wave spawns of small mechs make it far more efficient than roaming the open world looking for individual enemies.
Small Batteries accumulate naturally while farming Electrical Components from big mechs in the same region. If you plan your route through southeast Delesyia, you can gather batteries passively.
The small mechs at Man's Steel Armory also drop Clockwork Insects and Cogwheels, making it a one-stop farming location for multiple Kuku Watcher Pack materials.
You need 200 Small Batteries for the Kuku Watcher Pack recipe. At Man's Steel Armory, this amount can be reached in well under 10 minutes.
The Aeronautical Research Base dispatch returns 60 Small Batteries per refresh, along with Electrical Component. It is by far the highest-volume battery source in the game and is the one dispatch you should keep cycling if you craft any Cuckoo items. Field drops from Mech Mani enemies exist but shrink as territory is liberated, which makes this dispatch the long-term answer.
