Hello to all of you reading this. As the title says i need help.

I cant find a way to make more batery packs. I alredy googled it and I still dont have an answer. I have around 20 lightning rods and they produce good amount of bateries but only when its storm. I didnt get a storm half of the year and I dont have Rain totem(I dont even know if it spawns storm or only rain) I lost a chance to catch legend because I didnt had Rain in spring. I am starting to get really low on bateries and i dont have solar panels or anything that produces bateries pasively so if you know a way that I can get some it will be really helpful. I am alredy friends with pam so that wont work i get 1 batery every 7 to 10 days but I need more for advancing my farm

The only things I can think of that require lots of battery packs are iridium sprinklers and crystallariums (unless you've got mods). I don't have a suggestion if you're aiming for crystallariums, but if you need more sprinklers, you can buy one from Krobus every Friday. It's slow but requires zero resources, only money.

You've already got a decent amount of lightning rods, though I believe some people advocate building even more. By the way, if you use a rain totem on a sunny day, the next day will be rainy but not stormy; if the weather is currently stormy, however, using a rain totem will cause the next day to be stormy as well. You can do this as many days in a row as you like, until the end of the month (first day of a season is always sunny). So if you aren't able to fulfill Caroline's Island Ingredients quest to get the solar panel recipe, your best bet is to stockpile a bunch of rain totems and wait for a storm.

Another option is Skull Cavern past Floor 50 where Iridium Bats start spawning and they have a 5% Battery Pack drop. That's not great though and I'd probably find it frustrating getting all the other loot.

I don't want to take credit for this but the wiki has a good Battery Farming strategy:

Using a Rain Totem will normally only cause regular rain. However, if used on a stormy day, the next day will also be stormy instead of rainy (the weather report will also say the next day is raining, despite it being a stormy day). Storms can be chained this way until the next Festival or the 1st of any season. This is an easy way to farm a lot of Battery Packs.
This sounds like a great option. You need 5 Pine Tar for each Totem, so get those Pine Trees tapped.

Lew Zealand up there was dead on . use rain totems on stormy days. make sure you confirm a storm before using them. empty them out everyday .work towards the community center. when you complete the community center you unlock the special orders board in town. and you will also unlock willy's boat. save 200 hardwood 5 battery packs and 5 iridium bars. fixing willy's boat will unlock ginger island once you get the island farm unlocked. check the special orders board every monday you are looking for the island ingredients quest.. it is a 30 day quest you will have to ship 100 pineapples, ginger or taro root if you can manage that you get a solar panel recipe. you get a battery every 5 sunny days even in winter.. save quartz and fire quartz to make refined quartz if you want a lot of batteries fire quartz is good to duplicate in Crystalariums . I have 500 solar panels and I will never need a battery again, If you need batteries for sprinklers you can get a iridium sprinkler from krobus in the sewer every friday for 10k It is worth it if you have the cash and lack materials. donate 60 items to museum for key to the sewer. Also good tip is spam level 40-43 in the mines hunting dust sprites it will take you a couple weeks of spare time you will get a lot of coal Iron and batwings but focus on killing 500 sprites. you get a great reward it will help you in a later dungeon to get seeds for the
Island ingredients quest Hope it helps:)
