So... how many car batteries are we all getting (new saves)?

I've now looted CH, Crumbling Highway, DP, and most of PV/ML. Stalker loot settings. I'm now in AC on my way to get the technical backpack.

I had 1 car battery in the whole of Coastal Highway (inside of Quonset of all places), and 2 batteries in Desolation Point. So far in PV, there is also 1 (in the Radio Hut on Signal Hill) - I've looted all of Thomson's Crossing and the Farmhouse, roads, etc.

I want to do Signal Void/all the bunkers on this run, and so I am coming to terms with the fact that if I want to be able to do even a single trade with the trader that needs batteries, I am going to need to Travois in batteries from Milton - or even worse, the Far Territories lmao. 3 batteries seems so ridiculous compared to the 'raw meat' trades.

Has anyone else had rotten luck with this? I read some people saying they managed to get *all* the trader's battery trades done using just CH and was like wtf.

At least I've got some long term goals lol, even if it is going to be a slow-walking slog.
