In the world of Teyvat, managing energy for your team's Elemental Bursts can make or break your combat experience. As we move through 2025, understanding which characters excel as batteries for each element has become even more crucial with the expanding roster and evolving meta in Genshin Impact. But what exactly makes a good battery character, and who are the best options for each element?
What Makes a Great Battery Character?
Battery characters in Genshin Impact serve a vital purpose: generating energy particles to fuel your team's Elemental Bursts. These characters typically fall into two categories - those who generate abundant Elemental Particles through their skills, and those who provide flat Energy restoration through specific abilities.
Have you ever struggled to keep your main DPS character's Burst ready when needed? That's where battery characters come to the rescue!
Pyro Battery Champions
Bennett - The Uncontested Pyro Battery
Bennett remains one of the most valuable support characters in 2025, not just for his healing and ATK buff, but also for his exceptional energy generation capabilities. His tap skill generates two Particles every four seconds, but when used within his Burst field, this improves to two Particles every two seconds. This gives him an effective production rate of either 0.5 or 1 Particle per second, depending on usage.
What makes Bennett particularly special is his versatility - he doesn't just battery Pyro characters but can effectively support any team composition with his rapid particle generation.
Cryo Battery Specialists
Rosaria - The Efficient Cryo Generator
Rosaria continues to be an excellent Cryo battery option in 2025. Her Elemental Skill can be cast every six seconds, generating three particles each time for an effective rate of 0.5 particles per second. When equipped with Favonius Lance, her battery capabilities increase dramatically, making her invaluable for Cryo DPS characters like Ayaka and Eula.
Diona - Shield, Heal, and Energy
Diona offers a complete support package with shielding, healing, and energy generation. With a Sacrificial Bow, she can generate 0.532 particles per second, doubling her base rate of 0.266. Her C1 further enhances her energy restoration capabilities, making her one of the most reliable Cryo batteries in the game.
Kaeya - The Underestimated Starter
Despite being a starter character, Kaeya shouldn't be overlooked as a Cryo battery. He consistently generates 2.67 Energy every six seconds (0.445 per second). With a Favonius or Sacrificial Sword, his energy generation increases substantially, making him a reliable option for many team compositions.
Anemo Battery Powerhouses
Venti - The Archon of Energy
The Anemo Archon continues to excel as a battery despite the evolving enemy mechanics that sometimes counter his crowd control. Venti generates three particles with his tap Skill (0.5 particles per second). Additionally, his Burst provides a flat Energy restoration of 15 Energy to all party members who share the element absorbed by his ultimate.
Kazuha and Sucrose - Versatile Anemo Batteries
Kazuha's tap Skill grants three Particles every six seconds, while Sucrose generates four Particles every 15 seconds. Both characters benefit enormously from Sacrificial weapons, with Sucrose particularly shining with Sacrificial Fragments as it provides the Elemental Mastery she needs while doubling her particle generation to 0.534 particles per second.
Electro Battery Specialists
Raiden Shogun - The Ultimate Battery
While not mentioned in the original articles, by 2025, Raiden Shogun has cemented her position as the premier battery character in Genshin Impact. Her unique ability to restore energy to the entire team regardless of element makes her universally valuable.
Kujou Sara - The Specialized Electro Support
Sara generates three Particles every ten seconds with her Elemental Skill. With 200% Energy Recharge, she grants 2.4 Energy when her Crowfeather hits an enemy. Her C2 increases this to 4.8 Energy every eight seconds, making her particularly effective for Electro DPS characters.
Electro Traveler - The Universal Battery
The Electro Traveler remains one of the strongest battery options in 2025. Beyond generating 0.222 Particles per second upon Skill cast, they enhance the character's Energy Recharge and provide significant Energy restoration via Abundance Amulets. A character absorbing these amulets can regain up to 12 Energy every nine seconds, with additional energy recovery from their Burst.
Hydro Battery Options
Xingqiu - The Reliable Hydro Generator
Xingqiu continues to be the most reliable Hydro battery in Genshin Impact. Although his Elemental Skill has a long cooldown, when equipped with Sacrificial Sword, he can generate ten Particles every 21 seconds (0.476 per second), making him essential for Hydro DPS characters.
Geo and Dendro Battery Choices
Geo Traveler - Underrated Energy Provider
The Geo Traveler offers an impressive 0.555 Particles per second, making them one of the most efficient Geo batteries in the game. They're particularly effective when paired with other Geo characters like Zhongli, whose skill resonates with Geo constructs.
Dendro Traveler - The Latest Contender
The Dendro Traveler has proven to be surprisingly effective as both a support and battery. Their Burst applies consistent Dendro application and works exceptionally well with Electro and Hydro characters, making them valuable for Quicken and Bloom-based team compositions.
Building Your Perfect Battery
When selecting a battery character for your team, consider these factors:
-
Element matching: Same-element batteries provide more energy
-
Particle generation rate: Higher is better
-
Cooldown efficiency: Shorter cooldowns mean more consistent energy
-
Additional utility: The best batteries offer more than just energy (buffs, healing, etc.)
What's your favorite battery character in Genshin Impact? Have you found creative ways to solve energy issues in your team compositions?
As Genshin Impact continues to evolve in 2025, understanding how to effectively manage your team's energy needs remains a fundamental aspect of successful gameplay. With these battery characters at your disposal, you'll never find yourself lacking energy when you need it most!
