The Courage Reactor (あいとゆうきリアクター?, lit.: "Love and Courage Reactor") is a battery treasure found in Pikmin 2. In the Switch version it is a fictional "Electric Super Battery", a Duracell D battery in the North American and European GameCube and Wii versions, and a National Hi-Top D battery in the Japanese GameCube and Wii versions. It is the first treasure that is collected in Pikmin 2, and is found partially buried in the Valley of Repose. Upon retrieval, the Hocotate ship is satisfied with the day's work and the first day is completed. While Louie discovers the treasure first, he needs to reunite with Olimar and his Pikmin before it can be lifted and salvaged.

In the North American and European GameCube and Wii versions the text on the side 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®

Strangely, in the US New Play Control! Pikmin 2 website, the Courage Reactor uses artwork of the Japanese version of the treasure instead of the North American version.[2]

Collecting the treasure

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

To retrieve the treasure, both Olimar and Louie are needed: start by gathering all the pellets in the area and the Dwarf Red Bulborb. After obtaining 20 Red Pikmin, have them dig it out of the ground and carry it to the ship.

Notes

Olimar's journal
We've recovered our first treasure! Amazingly, the Pikmin remembered how to salvage it. I can't understand their adorable language and I don't know what they're thinking, yet I'm so happy to see them. When I crashed on this planet, the Pikmin helped me locate my missing ship parts. In my darkest hour, the Pikmin were there for me. Now that I'm reunited with them, I know everything will be alright. It will, right?
Sales pitch
Physical energy is not the only kind! The energy dearest to us is that made by love and courage.

Olimar's journal
どうにか最初のお宝を回収できた! ピクミンは私のことをしっかり覚えていてくれた。彼らとは言葉も通じない、考えていることもよくわからないが、むしょうにうれしい。前回、この星に遭難して、ピクミンといっしょにバラバラになった宇宙船のパーツを探したことが思い出される。絶望的と思われたあの時も、ピクミンと共に乗り越えた。今度もきっと大丈夫だ。
Translation
We've just somehow collected our first piece of treasure! The Pikmin seem to have vividly remembered me. I don't speak their language, and I don't even know what they're thinking, but I am unmeasurably happy. I am reminded of the time I last shipwrecked onto this planet, when the Pikmin and I searched for the scattered parts of the spaceship. That time, which I thought was hopeless or desolate, the Pikmin and I overcame it. This time as well, it will be okay.
Sales pitch
物理的な力だけが力じゃない! あいとゆうきがいっぱいつまったぼくらの一番身近なエネルギー。
Translation
Physical energy isn't the only kind of energy! The closest kind of energy to us is the energy packed with love and courage!
