Morphology
The meaning 'charged to maximum capacity' is directly and predictably derived from combining 'fully' (completely) with 'charged' (having electrical charge). This compositional adjective phrase follows ordinary modifier + adjective patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
Fully charged comes from the image of filling a 'battery' with electricity like filling a cup with water; when it is full—fully—it is charged. So, fully charged means the device or 'battery' has the most power and does not need more charging.
