In this study, we seek to provide a new way of studying classical fluctuation theorems. Fully quantum fluctuation theorems employ machinery that involves explicit modeling of all degrees of freedom in a quantum setting- the system that delivers the work, the heat bath, the system that imposes the control, as well as the energy reservoir or battery that fuels the dynamics. We intend to study the effects of introducing this explicit modeling in a purely classical phase space setting. To meet this end we construct the required mathematical machinery in classical phase space and derive four versions of fluctuation theorems in terms of evolution induced on the energy reservoir by the system. One of the aims is to eliminate the implicit assumptions counted upon in standard approaches and study the effects of explicitly modeling batteries and external controls.
