Definition
充电 (chōng diàn) is the verb for recharging a battery or, figuratively, recharging yourself through rest or new skills. It is different from 充值 (chōng zhí), which means to top up a prepaid account or card. 补给 (bǔ jǐ) is a more formal word for replenishing physical supplies, not people or gadgets.
