Solution

Rechargeable batteries work by fully restoring its energy capacity when an electric current is applied to them. They are considered to be electrochemical cells which produce a finite amount of energy, which once depleated can be recharged by reversing the chemical reaction with the aid of a charging current supplied by the battery charger.
