Batteryman takes place in a post crisis apocalyptic world, meaning all the chaos from the nuclear fallout or whatever has passed and civilization has begun to rebuild

Batteryman, who we'll call Ben, is a Mechanic who lives outside the city dome the majority of the population now resides in.

Ben enjoys repairing abandoned oldworld vehicles and one day while fixing one up he realizes that he needs a car battery to get it running.

Remembering a car he had seen in the grasslands he sets out to see if he can retrieve a battery from it.

While searching for the vehicle in the tall grass, strange clouds begin to circle in the distance. Strong winds blow and the sky crashes with thunder, but no rain falls.

Suddenly, Ben is struck with lightning and blacks out.

Ben wakes upon a charred barren patch of dirt with no idea how much time has passed. He doesn't feel injured, just fatigued. Slowly he climbs to his feet and makes his way back home.

Ben enters through the door of his garage, a radio sits upon his workbench giving off only sounds of static.

Thinking it best to get checked out by a doctor Ben climbs aboard his Hover Bike called a Floater and heads toward the city.
