A power cell is the component, often removable or transportable, of a number of technological devices that supplies the energy necessary for the device to operate, on both small and large scales.
Power cells may be organic, as in the case of the Xindi-Reptilian biorifle.
Power cells can be reconfigured to give off false dilithium readings.
Portable lamps use power cells as do hyperspanners.
The type 2 phaser has a small, removable power cell which generates enough power to activate a transporter. Hand phasers and disruptors alike are, however, unable to work with cracked or empty power cells.
Large power cells are used to supply power to phaser arrays on starships. They can also be used to supplement the ship's power grid.
