A Power Cell is a piece of cargo held by several enemies and found scattered throughout Kiengir. When solitary or held by an A-Egir-HD2, the lights around it glow red. When held by an Ud-Ur or Kum-Abala, it takes on the blue lighting of its holder. When picked up, either by encountering a lone one or destroying its holder, it can be used to fuel an empty Power Matrix.
Strategy[]
When low on health, instead of picking one up to use the Power Matrix it filled right away, it's much quicker and easier to just hack the Power Cell and select "emit health". This option is free and saves having to navigate the item selection menu.
Furthermore (even if it doesn't make sense), the empty Power Cell can then be picked up anyway and it will still fill up a Power Matrix.
