“A small, self-contained energy storage unit.”

The small energy cell is a type of ammunition in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics

It is a type of ammo used for energy pistols, like laser and plasma variants, among others, such as the super cattle prod and power fist. It appears they are similar to batteries.

In Fallout 2, a small energy cell can also be used to fuel the Highwayman, but provides only 5% charge for the onboard battery.
