Diatum power cell

The diatum power cell, also known as a diatum energy cell was the primary power source for a lightsaber and one of the critical components of a lightsaber hilt. Located directly below and wired into the primary crystal mount, to which was affixed the weapon's primary focusing crystal, these types of power pak|power cell]]s were in turn wrapped within the power field conductor, power vortex ring and an inert power insulator. The lightsaber's pommel cap and its recharging port were attached directly to the diatum cell.

Throughout the years of the Galactic Republic, specifically during the Old Sith Wars, the diatum energy cell also came in upgraded versions that could be inserted into a Jedi or Sith's weapon to provide increased power to the blade it produced.
