What do I do with all these Power Regulators?

'Member way back when you needed a bajillion power regulators to upgrade your suits, and the only viable way of getting them was to take a Restore mission and then abandon it? Yeah, so now I've got a bunch of power regulators taking up my inventory space. I tried selling them but apparently they are marked as mission items so no bartender will take them.

Do they have any use now? And if not, how do I sell them?
 
Maybe you could search for powered down settlements and sneak in to restore the power?

Obviously not for credits just because you could.
 
Step 1 find a colony with settlements. Step 2 steal all their power regulators. Step 3 sell all their power regulators to the bartender. Step 4 take power restore missions and gift them your previously stolen regulators.
 
Every once in a while you'll see a restore mission that doesn't supply a PR. Save them for those?
I’m pretty sure they removed these, sort of. They actually still exist, and the description still says that you need to supply a power regulator, but you are provided one anyway.

I believe that FD responded to the decimation of anarchy settlements for power regulators. I believe nowadays there’s no real need for them since they are no longer needed for suit upgrades/engineering or these missions. The only real use for these now is as @aRJay stated above, or to sell them to free up storage slots.
 
You get the occasional non-restoration mission to steal data or goods from a powered-down base, which don't grant a regulator.

For the goods you don't need a regulator, for the data you do, but either way it can be useful to have a few spare to power up the base anyway to keep scavengers away while you loot it, then turn it off again once you're done.
 
You can put them for sale at your FC bartender. Not sure how well these sell, since you can basically get loads of them t little to no cost, if you don't mind losing reputation with some factions.

Or, if you Power play, sometimes a settlement is out of power, with nobody there. Restore the power via one of your spare regulators, then go download the Power data.
 
Whenever I raid a settlement on a mission to wipe out its anarchy/criminal/mob/posse/gang population (the lawless scoundrels), I always power down the base and take their power regulator before leaving. It’s building into a wonderful collection.
