A battery does not make electricity it stores it just the same as a capacitor.
You charge either with electrons and the way they are stored differ not the end result.

I sorta liked that too...And I was browsing eBay and found what is probably the 'adjustable' front sight blade used on the Buxton .22 Luger...Or one close to it...

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.

Yes, quite right- that is the front sight found on the Colt Woodsman of the early years. A fine, small adjustable sight for elevation adjustment.

I'm thinking(always dangerous) that this may actually be a .22 conversion/creation, and the hammer is simply there to operate the toggle to charge the pistol.

At least one Luger did...The infamous and oft-listed 'Bodyguard Luger' supposedly used by Hitler's bodyguards...But the cable-linked belt-pack battery is never listed.

TBLAP has some great pics of the flashlight Luger itself, on page 1682 of the DVD.
