Charge

Charge may refer to any of the following:

1. To charge an electronic device is to add power to the device's battery, allowing it to store the energy it needs to carry out its functions. Charging can be done using a cable, like an AC adapter or USB cable, or through wireless means, like a Qi pad.

When a device such as a smartphone or laptop computer is charging, a lightning bolt symbol may appear at the battery level icon. When a device without a screen is charging, it may be indicated by a blinking LED (light-emitting diode) near the charging port.

2. When buying goods or services, you can charge the purchase to a credit or debit card as a method of payment. The charge to a debit card removes money from your bank account and transfer it to the merchant's account. The charge to a credit card adds to the amount you are required to pay to the credit card company, to reimburse them for borrowing their money.
