It was hit by a small piece of space debris (possibly a chunk of asteroid), wrecking certain systems critical to life-support.
Apollo 13's power source was primarily provided by fuel cells that converted hydrogen and oxygen into electricity. These fuel cells were essential for providing electricity to the spacecraft for various systems and experiments. In addition to the fuel cells, Apollo 13 also had batteries as a backup power source in case of any malfunctions.
The problem on Apollo 13 was a damaged oxygen tank that caused an explosion, leading to a loss of power and water supply. This resulted in the mission being aborted, with the focus shifting to safely bringing the crew back to Earth.
The Apollo 13 accident was caused by an explosion in an oxygen tank. The explosion was due to damaged insulation on an electrical wire that triggered the disaster, rather than human error or intentional sabotage.
lunar module
Apollo 13 is the mission that famously experienced an explosion in its Service Module while en route to the moon in 1970. The explosion led to the mission being aborted, and the astronauts had to use the Lunar Module as a "lifeboat" to return safely to Earth.

There are 19 13s in 250. 250/13 =19.23
How was it used? To bring the crew back to Earth after the explosion...
