E-Recovery Tank

The E-Recovery Tank is a new powerup in Metroid: Other M. There are a total of three in the game. Each one found increases the amount of energy that Samus restores when using Concentration in a critical state by one Energy Tank. The number of E-Recovery Tanks in Samus' possession is indicated by a light blue border around it. It also increases the threshold for energy recovery, allowing Samus to restore her energy sooner. Prior to obtaining the first one, Samus can use Concentration at 24 energy or less. This threshold increases to 49 energy when she obtains the first E-Recovery Tank, then to 74 with the second tank, and finally 98 with the third and final tank. It does not increase the time needed to charge. Should Samus obtain an E-Recovery Tank while possessing less than that amount in Energy Tanks (obtaining two E-Recovery Tanks while having only one Energy Tank expansion in supply), the additional E-Recovery tanks will not restore past the amount of current Energy Tanks in possession. E-Recovery Tanks have a purple liquid color.[1]

ITEMS AND UPGRADES (p. 21): Items; E-Recovery Tanks; "By far the most rare pick-ups to find--there are only three--each E-Recovery Tank increases the amount of Energy you replenish when using Concentration. E-Recovery Tanks also allow you to use Concentration sooner. For every E-Recovery Tank you acquire, you will replenish one full Energy Tank."

Trivia[]

Other M File Select Save 2 cheat — Save File 2 has 9 E-Recovery tanks applied via an item duplication cheat.

Using cheat codes reveals that it is possible to obtain up to 9 E-Recovery Tanks applied. Having 9 Energy Tanks alongside 9 E-Recovery tanks means Samus can fully restore her Energy to the highest maximum possible. The concentration threshold will still remain at 98 units even if more than three E-Recovery tanks are acquired.
