Morphology

precharged = charged (transparent) = pre + charge + ed

Adding 'pre-' to 'charged' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'charged beforehand' or 'supplied in advance'.

Etymology

Precharged combines pre- 'before' and charge 'to fill with power', like in recharge, so it literally means something was filled with power or pressure before you use it. That's why a precharged battery or tank is ready to work straight away.
