Morphology

recharger = recharge (transparent) = re + charge + er

The noun is a regular agent or instrument formation from the verb 'recharge', meaning someone or something that recharges.

Etymology

Recharger has re- meaning 'again' and charge meaning 'to fill with power', just like a charger. So a recharger is something that 'charges again', which is why it gives power back to batteries or prepaid cards.
