The Courage Reactor (あいとゆうきリアクター?, lit.: "Love and Courage Reactor") is the first treasure found in Pikmin 2. It is a D battery, and is a generic brand of battery in the Nintendo Switch version, a Duracell battery in the North American and European GameCube and Wii versions, and a National Hi-Top battery in the Japanese GameCube and Wii versions. It is found partially buried in the Valley of Repose. Upon retrieval, the ship is satisfied with the day's work and the first day is completed. While Louie discovers this treasure first, he needs to reunite with Olimar before it can be lifted and salvaged.
The text on the side of the treasure in the North American and European GameCube and Wii versions contains a paragraph informing the user that the battery cannot be recharged, and that the polarity of the battery should be respected. These instructions are written in Italian, French, German and English, in that order. The full text reads:
- Inserire correttamente. Non ricaricare.
- Respecter les polarités + et -. Ne pas
- recharger. Auf richtige Polarität achten.
- Nicht wiederaufladbar. Connect correctly.
- Do not recharge. MADE IN EC
- DURACELL®
- D
- ALKALINE 1,5V
- MN0000 LR6
- MAR 2010

Trivia[edit]
- Strangely, on the US New Play Control! Pikmin 2 website, the Courage Reactor is shown as a National Hi-Top battery instead of a Duracell battery.[2]
