"'''Batteryman'''" ({{Ruby|電|でん}}{{Ruby|池|ち}}メン ''Denchimen'') is an [[archetype]] of [[LIGHT]] [[Thunder]] [[Monster Card|monsters]]. Initially, "Batteryman" Decks were [[OTK]] Decks that focused on [[Special Summon]]ing three copies of "[[Batteryman AA]]". This allowed the player to then use "[[Short Circuit]]" to clear the opponent's field and then [[direct attack]] for a minimum of 9000 damage. However, following the release of "[[Batteryman Fuel Cell]]" and "[[Batteryman 9V]]", many different variants are possible, such as a "[[hunder]]" variant.
 In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' , [[Dexter]]'s Deck contained at least one member of this archetype, "[[Batteryman AA (anime)|Batteryman AA]]". Some members of this archetype appears as characters in some video-games: * "[[Batteryman C (character)|Batteryman C]]" appears in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Ultimate Masters: World Championship Tournament 2006]]'' and in ''[[Batteryman C (Spirit Caller character)|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Spirit Caller]]'';* "[[Batteryman D (character)|Batteryman D]]" appears in ''[[Spirit Caller]]'' and in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2007|World Championship 2007]]'';* Both "[[Batteryman Charger (character)|Charger]]" and "[[Batteryman Micro-Cell (character)|Micro-Cell]]" appear in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2009: Stardust Accelerator|World Championship 2009]]'';* "[[Batteryman Industrial Strength (character)|Industrial Strength]]" appears in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2010: Reverse of Arcadia|World Championship 2010]]''. 
==Design==
The number shown on the chests of "[[Batteryman AA]]", "[[Batteryman AAA]]", "[[Batteryman C]]" and "[[Batteryman D]]" corresponds their Levels. This also relates to what their respective battery sizes are called in Japan.

"Batterymen" with the recycling symbol on their heads are the ones able to be returned from the graveyard by "[[Recycling Batteries]]".
 
==Playing style==
The "Batteryman" [[Deck]] 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 [[Summon]]ing it, any "Batteryman" card in the deck Deck can be searched[[search]]ed. "[[Batteryman Micro-Cell]]" can special summon [[Special Summon]] any "Batteryman" from the deckDeck, usually "Batteryman 9V" for additional searching power and a 2000 [[DEF ]] monster. "[[Batteryman Charger]]" is one of the most useful cards in the Archetypearchetype, because it can Special Summon a "Batteryman" of any [[Level ]] from your the Deck when you the player [[Normal Summon ]]s it. Through cards like "[[The Monarchs Stormforth]]", it is easy to abuse. It also makes a good beat stick[[beatstick]], as swarming [[swarm]]ing 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 it can [[destroy ]] two cards the opponent controls [[control]]s with his effect, simply by banishing [[banish]]ing a [[Thunder ]] monster from the [[Graveyard]]. "[[Batteryman Fuel Cell]]" is one of the most important "Batteryman" card since most "Batteryman" OTKs [[OTK]]s rely on it. "[[Batteryman AAA]]" is also often used in "Batteryman" decks Decks for quick XYZ [[Xyz Summon]] plays. Since "Batteryman AAA" is a [[LIGHT ]] monster, it allows access to powerful [[Rank 4s ]] 4 [[Xyz Monster]]s like "[[Starliege Paladynamo]]" and "[[Constellar Omega]]".

===Weaknesses===
* "[[Ally of Justice]]" and "[[Koa'ki Meiru]]"s pose an extreme threat to the "BatterymenBatteryman" monsters since they have effects that will [[negate ]] and [[destroy ]] them with ease because all of the "Batteryman" monsters have are [[LIGHT attributes]]-[[Attribute]]. "[[Light-Imprisoning Mirror]]" can help too. Also, mass* Mass-removal cards like "[[Torrential Tribute]]", "[[Dark Hole]]", "[[Mirror Force]]" and even "[[Doom Donuts]]" have the power to shut down "BatterymansBatteryman"monsters, destroying all of their monsters them before they can [[attack ]] and potentially [[OTK]]. In addition, cards that remove them from play [[banish]] and cards that hinder special summoning them [[Special Summon]]ing from the [[Graveyard ]] or [[Deck ]] will pose a threat to them, such as "[[Dimension Shifter]]" or "[[Royal Prison]]". WorseAlso, "[[Deck Devastation Virus]]", "[[King Tiger Wanghu]]", and "[[Kotodama]]" can be more permanent solution effective for greatly hindering "Batteryman" Decks, especially OTK builds. Also, more peculiar cards like "[[Prohibition]]", "[[Psi-Blocker]]", "[[Dark Designator]]" "[[D.D. Designator]]" and "[[Mind Crush]]" can prevent "Batteryman" Decks from flourishing at all.
