'''Methane recharge stations'''<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 303''</ref> are portable [[methane]] tanks used by [[Covenant]] [[Unggoy]] to spare additional methane for their [[Methane tank|personal gas tanks]] in the field.


The Unggoy homeworld, [[Balaho]], is a methane-rich planet, and as such, they breathe methane gas. Thus, when they are in an [[oxygen]]-rich atmosphere, like that of the [[Halo Array|Halo installations]] or [[Earth]], they need to wear a [[Methane tank|methane gas tank]]. When Unggoy are in battle, they may run low on their supply of methane, so they must have a ready supply nearby if required. These tanks contain the ready supply of methane gas the Unggoy need.
'''Battlefield Methane Tanks''' are equipment used primarily by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Unggoy|Grunts]].


The device can refill the methane tanks of four Unggoy simultaneously. It is highly explosive and leaks gas when it is about to explode.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref>
The Grunt's homeworld, [[Balaho]], is a [[methane]]-rich planet and as such they breathe methane gas. Thus, when they are in a [[oxygen]]-rich atmosphere, like that of the [[Halo Array|Halo installations]] or [[Earth]], they need to wear a [[Methane Tank|methane gas tank]]. When Grunts are in battle, they may run low on their supply of methane, so they must have a ready supply nearby if required. These tanks contain the ready supply of Methane Gas the Unggoy need.

They are short and round in shape, purple in color and have a large blue valve on the top. The Methane Tanks are seen generally where Grunts are operating. The tanks are also highly explosive due to their methane content.

== Trivia ==
*If the blue "X" pattern on the tank is shot at it will ignite and burn for a while before exploding.
*Battlefield Methane Tanks appear only in ''[[Halo 2]]''.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]'''</ref> In gameplay terms, they are similar in function to [[Plasma batteries]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'', as both explode when shot at.
*They seem to resemble Gravity Thrones that the High Prophet Hierarchs use.
*A new version of the Battlefield Methane Tank appears in Halo Reach. It is highly explosive and will start to leak gas when it is about to explode. They can hold four grunts.
