Don't you watch those various zombie...walking dead shows?
Gasoline is good after 10 years of sitting in old vehicle tanks and batteries hold their charge just as long.

Lol! Like that futuristic comedy by Woody Allen where they’re in a cave and found an old VW bug stuffed away. It had several inch’s if dust settled on it. They got in, started it, turned the headlights on and drove away....

DuraCell Lithium Ion batteries. :-)

I dug out my Nikon D-70 camera the other day. Haven't used it in almost
three years. I have three batteries for it and put one in the charger,
assuming it was dead after all that time. The charger light immediately
starting blinking and at first I assumed it indicated a bad battery that
would not take a charge. But my son grabbed it, put it in the camera
and the camera display said it had a full charge. It did. I am still
taking pictures using the same battery.

If it was an old enough bug, there was a hole in the back for a hand
crank. Once the generator started putting out, the lights would come
on. Battery holding a charge? Not so much. Maybe a squirt of VR-6?
