A bodycomp requires a powerpack, which is similar to a high-power, long-life battery, to power all of its functions.[1] The differences in the following powerpacks are in their duration and amount of progits they can handle at any one time.
Unlike most powerpacks, bodycomp powerpacks can never be used to power anything else.
