Fuel Cells. They are a great invention.

They take hydrogen and oxygen and convert them into electricity and PURE water for astronaut consumption and system cooling. When the landing crew transferred to the LM, six batteries powered it if I remember correctly. Two in the Ascent Stage and four in the descent stage.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

The Command Module of Apollo 11 was powered by fuel cells that converted liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen into electricity. The Lunar Module was powered by silver-zinc batteries. Solar panels were also used to generate electricity on both modules.
