One of the best ways to recharge batteries is to do so only until the battery is fully charged. Most battery chargers will have indicator lights that let you know the batteries are ready. Remove the batteries from the charger instead of leaving them on for an extended period of time after charging is complete. Overcharging batteries will decrease their life. Plan ahead for an optimum time to charge batteries, and set a timer to remind you to take them off the charger.
Some types of battery can be recharged (called secondary batteries). Others cannot (called primary batteries). You recharge a battery by connecting it to a power supply set to a higher voltage than the battery, usually through a current limiting resistor, connecting it to a special purpose power supply called a battery charger. To avoid damage to the battery, there are limits to how much current you can put into it, and this limit changes as the battery charges. These conditions are different for each type and size of battery. Consult the manufacturer of the battery if you need details. If you are actually asking "How is it that batteries can be recharged?" that is a different question. simply, batteries generate current by way of chemical reactions that generate free electrons that constitute the electric current output. Secondary batteries have a type of chemical reaction that can be driven in the opposite direction by applying an external current.
