The Lightning Rod creates a Template:ItemLink 24 hours after getting hit by lightning during a storm. It is not necessary to be on the farm when the lightning strike happens.

Since rods do not protect a specific area, the exact placement of a rod on the farm has no bearing on its chance to intercept a lightning strike. A Lightning Rod has a very good chance of intercepting a lightning bolt if it isn't already processing one. If it doesn't succeed, though, the lightning is more likely to strike trees than crops.

A lightning rod can be received when the 10,000 Bundle is completed in the Community Center.

Notes

Though it is possible to place lightning rods outside of the farm map, they will never get hit by lightning there, and thus will produce no battery packs.
