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 the need to select a weapon before taking it. However, if the player wishes to refill a specific weapon, equipping that weapon will cause the obtained weapon energy to fill that weapon instead of other weapons. It appears in Mega Man 6 and 7 as a hidden item, and can be bought in shops. In the Mega Man X and Mega Man ZX series, the function of the Energy Balancer is part of the characters as default.

In Mega Man ZX Advent, a Energy Balancer appears in Floating Ruins 3 as one of the four artifacts to retrieve in a sidequest for a Sub Tank. 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.
