Keep in mind that in order to charge a battery you need a power source (duh!). You can charge a battery with solar panels, nuclear reactors or another ship/station.
You need to have your working power source on the same grid as your battery or have your ship docked to a grid with a power source. You can dock using a merge block or any other blocks that allows you to transfer ressources.
You could have a station with multiple reactors/solar panels and multiple docking ports. This would allow you to have your own recharge relay so you can charge your small ships there.
As you already know, a battery is used to store power, any kind of power. If you can generate power, you can store that power in a battery as long as the power can get to a battery. They get power the same way other blocks get power. Must be on the same grid and turned on.
