My character can’t craft battery. I mean the “battery” item instead of the car battery.  
He has the “ham radio illustrated” and “what’s a transistor” books and electronics 6.

The item database for 0.C has an entry for crafting battery.  
[http://cdda.chezzo.com/battery/craft](http://cdda.chezzo.com/battery/craft)

But the same entry for 0.D doesn’t exist.  
[https://cdda-trunk.chezzo.com/battery/craft](https://cdda-trunk.chezzo.com/battery/craft)

Does that mean we can’t craft battery in 0.D?

Not gonna lie, I kinda miss being able to make some AA batteries to power my tools out of a tin can and a lemon.  
But man, was it ever stupid. 😛

I think you can still craft them with acid. I’m not 100% sure though.

I think you can make batteries from concentrated acid and a few other items, not sure if it still exists
