Answer
James,

If the vehicle was bottomed out and the transmission pan was damaged there could be electrical damage to the battery via the fuse links or relays if they were knocked really hard from the bottoming out.  I would backtrack from the battery to the circuits and check all fuse links and fuses and relays.
