Rechargeable batteries are the ones which can be charged multiple times. Such devices are a collection of one or multiple batteries, which employ electrochemical reactions running on several chemical combinations. They work on the principle of reversible reactions, and are used in applications such as cars, laptops, flashlights, mobile phones, cameras, etc. Laptop batteries need to be recharged very often, after their charge is exhausted. Cell phone batteries usually get charged in 3 - 4 hours.
Ni-MH or nickel metal hydride batteries are the best options available in the market these days. These serve as a good choice for flashlights, and remote controls of toys and TV. They can retain their charge for many months.
