The Lightning Rod creates a 
Battery Pack the day after getting hit by lightning during a storm. It is not necessary for the player 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.[1]
Since each rod only protects the farm from harm if it is not already processing a previous lightning strike, it is advisable to place multiple rods on the farm. The number of lightning strikes during one day is random.
A lightning rod is the reward for completing the 
10,000 Bundle in the Vault.
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.
- Storms (and thus lightning) never occur in Winter.
- More lightning will strike the longer you stay awake, necessitating more lightning rods.
History
- 1.4: Lightning Rods are now ready to harvest the day after a storm, instead of 24 hours later.
