There are two. Positive + and Negative -

Positive is carried by the proton and negative is carried by the electron.

What is usually talked about when people talk about charge is electrical potential.

At zero potential there are equal number of electrons and protons. But in the real world that seldom happens so electrical potential is correct the potential difference between the state of two objects. In other words which one has the most or least electrons compared to its number of protons. Since this is hard to count we are lucky that the excess one of the other creates an electrical field and we can measure the strength of the field as a measure of the charge. The most common device to do this is a voltmeter which measures the electrical potential difference between to conductors such as the ends of a battery. There are other devices to measure the magnitude of static electrical fields.
