The Fuel Reservoir (きあいバッテリー^?, lit.: "Willpower Battery") is a treasure in Pikmin 2. In the Nintendo Switch version, it is a generic brand of nine-volt battery, and is found on sublevel 7 of the Cavern of Chaos. In the North American and European GameCube and Wii versions, it is a Duracell nine-volt battery, and is found on sublevel 7 of the Cavern of Chaos. In the Japanese GameCube and Wii versions, it is a National Hi-Top C battery, and is found overground in the Perplexing Pool.

The text on the side of the treasure in the North American and European GameCube and Wii versions 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©

ALKALINE 9V

The first paragraph details warnings about how the polarity should be respected, and that the battery is not rechargeable. These warnings are written in Italian, French, German and English, in that order.

Collecting the treasure

The following article or section contains guides. The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Nintendo Switch and North American/European GameCube/Wii versions

This treasure is located in the seventh sublevel of the Cavern of Chaos. It may be near some Puffy Blowhogs, Withering Blowhogs, and Cloaking Burrow-nits. Take them out along with the poison emitters so they won't harm the Pikmin as they carry it back to the ship's pod.

In the Japanese GameCube/Wii version, the Durable Energy Cell is found in this location.

Japanese GameCube/Wii version

This treasure is located near the Citadel of Spiders, and is near an electric gate surrounded by water, making a volatile combination. First, defeat any Yellow Wollyhops and Shearwigs in the way. If the Dwarf Bulbears are there, take them out, too. Build the bridge near the stump found next to the Citadel of Spiders, then throw Yellow Pikmin over the wall to where the electric gate is. Alternatively, it is possible to throw Yellow Pikmin over the electric gate from across the water, with a running start for each throw, or a small number can be led along a root in the water on the left of the gate, then thrown over the wall easily. Let them tear it down and let Blue Pikmin carry it back to the ship.

In the Nintendo Switch and North American GameCube/Wii versions, the Optical Illustration is found in this location, and in the European GameCube/Wii version, the Abstract Masterpiece.

Notes

Olimar's journal

“The ship has a lot of self-importance for a machine. Apparently, machines can exhibit human characteristics after all. Perhaps they even have a soul? If this is true, then maybe you can work them into the ground until their spirit is broken and they stop giving you lip... Oh no... I'm turning into the president!”

Sales pitch

“According to my measurements, almost no energy should remain within... yet some does. The energy one can draw from matter has a limit, but the energy of the heart is endless. Perhaps that is the case here. This proves that machines have will and determination!”
