It is not that hard to make a stationary battery (plant cell). You can use
the pieces from dead car batteries to do it. Making it light and rugged
enough for portable use is the trick.

batteries will be around a very long time, even after the sources of
gasoline go away. Every motor vehicle has one, so collecting them
would be easy, charging them is the problem.

Not with $15 solar trickle chargers available.
