When recharging is shown in TV or movies, there is often a power cord plugged into an open [[access panel]] or other entry point.  The other end of this cord leads to a power supply, such as an electrical power outlet or a generator. In some cases, the android is offline while recharging. Some androids are able to recharge while they are still online though.
This is frequently depicted in older works as a fembot being directly plugged into a power source through an open panel or exposed socket, such as a generator or battery, though more modern works can also feature a fembot connected to or standing in a "cradle" device similar to a cell phone charger. This is frequently used as an android version of sleeping, and is one of a number of means of displaying said character's artificial nature. It can also be used as a set up to show that an android character needs to recharge, and that failure to do so could lead to an android character [[Shut-down|shutting down]].


In fiction, recharge scenes can be used to reveal to the audience and to other characters that a certain character is a robot.  Scenes like this can often involve access panels, [[electronic beeping]] and other indicators of a robot's synthetic state.

Casella Reese recharging in the movie Cyborg²

A recharge scene is that which shows an android having her power supply recharged.

This is frequently depicted in older works as a fembot being directly plugged into a power source through an open panel or exposed socket, such as a generator or battery, though more modern works can also feature a fembot connected to or standing in a "cradle" device similar to a cell phone charger. This is frequently used as an android version of sleeping, and is one of a number of means of displaying said character's artificial nature. It can also be used as a set up to show that an android character needs to recharge, and that failure to do so could lead to an android character shutting down.
