Without it, you might find yourself lacking the necessary materials. Our guide discusses what Battery Charge is used for, followed by how it can be replenished in the game. What is Battery Charged use for in Zenless Zone ZeroThink of Battery Charge in Zenless Zone Zero as your stamina or energy. By default, you have 240/240 as shown in the upper-right portion of the menu. However, some activities in the Hollow Investigative Association (HIA) Club will deplete a certain amount:Combat Simulation (including selecting more enemies that grant extra rewards)Expert ChallengeRoutine CleanupThe above means that you need Battery Charge if you want to grind for materials, including those that provide character and W-Engine XP. Likewise, since there are times when you might lack XP for Inter-Knot levels, then you might find yourself tackling HIA activities that grant the necessary XP.Thankfully, other tasks won't consume Battery Charge at all:Main quests and side commissionsHollow ZeroShiyu DefenseNotorious Hunt Replenishing Battery Charge graduallyWhen you lose an amount of Battery Charge, it's gradually replenished in real-time at a rate of +1 point every six minutes or +10 points every hour. If the entire resource is depleted, you should regain 240/240 once 24 hours have elapsed. Needless to say, this is a very slow process, so you might as well go offline and do something else while waiting. Drink coffee to recharge your energyThe Coff Cafe establishment opens upon completing some early-game missions. Once available, you can buy one cup of coffee to replenish +60 Battery Charge. However, take note that you can only do this once per daily reset. Should you spend your Polychrome just to regain stamina?Polychrome is a currency obtained via events, Inter-Knot levels, achievements, and other tasks. By default, you can spend 50x Polychrome to gain +60 Battery Charge. This can be done up to eight times per daily reset, but the cost increases as this function is used.To be clear, we do not recommend spending your Polychromes just to recharge your energy. Polychrome is best used for the Signal Shop (i.e. gacha) since it can be exchanged for Master Tapes and Encrypted Master Tapes. These currencies are the ones that you need to for rerolling purposes and to acquire 5-star/S-rank agents. How to get more Ether BatteryUsing a single Ether Battery instantly grants +60 Battery Charge. However, do take note that it's also one of the rarest items in the game.
