For some reason clicking the item icon next to the thermometer bar on the UI didn't work, but the item did work directly from inventory or when dragged onto action bar.
This is NOT inside the tunnel area, its outside behind the entrance up in the sand. Kill the mobs and use the item on the corpses.

Description
The poor thing. The sacred should not be disturbed, but... will the elders judge us if we help it survive? This is preservation, not interference. ...I hope. We can power it back up. Use this depleted core as a conduit. Perhaps the larger wild animates in the nearby sands have enough energy to charge it.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Junk's Not Dead
This automa has been hiding here! I suspect it will not be receptive to our help. I am hesitant to suggest this, but if the servitor were to associate you with this facility, it might be more amenable. If you have the means, copy the glyphs inscribed on similar automa outside.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Revival of the Fittest
This core is brimming with energy! Use the charged core to revive the automa. Hopefully, it will no longer see us as a threat. Do be careful. The power of the First Ones is not meant for us to control.
