How to upgrade your battery in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
In order to upgrade your battery (Energy Cell), you’ll need to obtain 100 Crystalized Charges. These triangular crystals are made by condensing Zonai Charges from Zonaite ore.
Simply head over to a Forge Construct, we used the one in the southeast of Sky Island, then hand over your Zonaite ore to obtain a Crystalized Charge. Once you have 100 Crystallized Charges, venture over to a Crystal Refinery, there’s one outside Lookout Landing and hand over the charges to the Zonaite manning the refinery.

You’ll receive an Energy Well, which increases the capacity of your Energy Cell — the battery that powers Zonaite devices. The more power you have, the longer you’ll be able to fly and drive through Hyrule. It’s as simple as that!
Best places to farm Zonaite
The Depths is the best place to get Zonaite fast. All the enemies in this dark abyss drop an abundance of the stuff, which is incredibly useful given you need 100 of them to upgrade the charge of your battery.
Simply defeat all the enemies you see and look out for any mini-bosses, and monster camps to ensure you’re hoovering up all that Zonaite. There are also plenty of mining nodes that will drop Zonaite, so make sure you have plenty of explosives or take an axe to break open the craggy rocks.
So, there you have it, that’s everything you need to know about upgrading your battery in Tears of the Kingdom and the best places to farm Zonaite fast. Make sure you check out our Zelda page for all the latest news and guides.
