In my recent article Best bug out vehicle for EMP ( Top 26 ), where I analyze both new and older models of vehicles and I have come to the conclusion that although older vehicles do still have batteries these will not be affected, while modern vehicles with dozens of senores will be disabled by the EMP. If the battery is inside an electrical device giving it power while the EMP blast hits it, not only the electrical device will be destroyed but so will be the battery.

The major difference between having your batteries destroyed by an EMP or not is if it is or not in an electrical device.

If you want to be extra safe in protecting not only your batteries but also your electrical devices from and EMP your best option is to get a Faraday bag, my personal recommendation is to get a military-grade Faraday bag Click here to check it out on Īs you already probably know that EMP destroys electrical devices, although some batteries might still be affected not all of them will be destroyed. In addition to this even if your batteries are not connected to any electrical device but are in contact with a conductive surface such as a metal table, this could also destroy your batteries. Remove the batteries from all of your electrical devices, this way you will limit the potential harm from an EMP. No, an EMP will not affect batteries, most batteries will survive an EMP as they are built like a Faraday cage, however, what could potentially damage them is the electrical device to which they are connected. For the most part, batteries will not be affected by an EMP as long as they are not connected to an electrical device. On the other hand, everything connected to the power grid will be destroyed or damaged. In the case of an EMP blast, most electrical devices will be destroyed, although devices that are not actually powered will most likely survive.
