Energy Balancer

The Energy Balancer (エネルギーバランサー), also know as Energy Equalizer and E. Balance, is a item that recovers energy from the Special Weapons with less energy when the player takes a Weapon Energy item without need to select a weapon before taking it. It appears in Mega Man 6 and 7 as a hidden item, and can be bought in the shops of Mega Man 7, Mega Man 8, Mega Man 9 and Mega Man & Bass. In the Mega Man X and Mega Man ZX series, the Energy Balancer is part of the characters default equipment.

In Mega Man ZX Advent, it appears in Floating Ruins 3 as one of the four artifacts to retrieve in a sidequest for a Subtank. It's called Old Balancer in the game, and is said to be a concept that is now taken for granted, but before they came along, unused energy was simply wasted into the atmosphere.
