You are just totally wrong.

Better go back to electricity school.

You are confusing "re-chargable" or "storage" batteries and true batteries.
A "battery" converts chemical energy to electricity(i.e. "electrons"), the chemicals are used up in the process and such batteries cannot be "re-charged" as the chemical reaction is not reversible. For example the old manganese dioxide and more recent "alkaline" batteries- the ones you throw away when discharged.

The most common storage battery is the lead/acid battery found in cars; in the last 50 years or so, other various "rechargeable" storage batteries have come into the market- based on chemical pairs such as : nickel-cadmium, Lithium ion, Nickel-hydride, and other ingenious combinations.
Side reactions and byproducts of the charging/re-charging process eventually render these storage batteries inefficient and they must be replaced.

Just to stay a little on topic, lugers do not require batteries.
