The "Batteryman" has a lot of powerful specific support cards that have massive destruction capabilities. Although most of the "Batteryman" archetype is made up of weak monsters, poweful effects more than make up for it. "[[Batteryman 9V]]" is the key card of the archetype. By summoning it, any "Batteryman" card in the deck can be searched. "[[Batteryman Micro-Cell]]" can special summon any "Batteryman" from the deck, usually "Batteryman 9V" for additional searching power and a 2000 DEF monster. "[[Batteryman Charger]]" is one of the most useful cards in the Archetype, because it can Special Summon a "Batteryman" of any Level from your Deck when you Normal Summon it. Through cards like "[[The Monarchs Stormforth]]", it is easy to abuse. It also makes a good beat stick, as swarming them can get its ATK up to a max of 3300 with relative ease. "[[Batteryman Industrial Strength]]" is the most powerful "Batteryman" (in terms of its destructive effect and original ATK) because he can destroy two cards the opponent controls with his effect, simply by banishing a Thunder monster from the Graveyard. "[[Batteryman Fuel Cell]]" is one of the most important "Batteryman" card since most "Batteryman" OTKs rely on it. "[[Batteryman AAA]]" is also often used in "Batteryman" decks for quick XYZ plays. Since "Batteryman AAA" is a LIGHT monster, it allows access to powerful Rank 4s like "[[Starliege Paladynamo]]" and "[[Constellar Omega]]".

===Weaknesses===
"[[Ally of Justice]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru]]"s pose an extreme threat to the "Batterymen" since they have effects that will negate and destroy them with ease because all of the "Batteryman" monsters have LIGHT attributes. "[[Light-Imprisoning Mirror]]" can help too.
