As of the Fallout 76 content update One Wasteland For All, the Electric Absorption legendary perk enables the player character a chance to recharge their fusion core upon being hit, ranging from 10% - 20% per hit depending on the perk rank.

Bugs

Before patch 1.0.4.13, fusion cores would replenish to full charge upon joining another world.
