Fuel cell
From Terminator Wiki
Twin Hydrogen fuel cells are used in the Series 850. This replaced the compact nuclear-energy Iridium cell used by the T-800 [citation needed], and provides greater power and longer life. Each cell is about the size of a small book and is encased in shiny titanium-carbon fiber alloy, nearly featureless except for its power points.
Housed within the main torso section of the combat chassis, the Hydrogen fuel cells have a small easy access panel that allows their removal for replacement or repair. If a hydrogen fuel cell is ruptured in battle, it will become unstable and must be removed immediately. The unstable ruptured cell is very dangerous, and will eventually explode, like a miniature Hydrogen bomb.
Though partially impaired having lost one cell, a T-850 can still operate at nearly fully capacity on its remaining fuel cell, though it will not be quite as powerful or as fast as before. [citation needed] It can also operate at least temporarily without either fuel cell.

- T-850: (the Terminator tosses his damaged power cell out the car window. The cell then explodes in a small mushroom cloud)
- T-850: When ruptured, the fuel cells become unstable. Relax.
