The Combine Battery is a type of power source used by the Combine that appears in Half-Life: Alyx.

Overview[edit]

The Combine Battery is the major source of electricity for Combine technology in Half-Life: Alyx. They're used to provide power for Combine Heavy Doors, Combine elevators, and other Combine technology. It has a cylindrical shape with multiple blue lights on the sides and several spike-like protrusions on both ends. It is compatible with Combine outlets seen in many facilities that, when inserted into, supplies electricity to open doors or activate machinery. Alternatively, the hearts of Revivers can play a similar role and be inserted into outlets.

The Combine also uses bigger versions of these batteries to milk substances from the Antlions which can be seen in the Tanker Yard.

Behind the scenes[edit]

Concept art for the Combine Battery originally showed a Reviver's heart suspended inside the canister that would be visible when the cover was slid open. In the end, the contents were replaced by a glowing light for the sake of visibility during gameplay.[1]
