double charge

Duplicate billing error

Double charge typically refers to billing someone twice for the same item or service, whether by error or fraud: My credit card statement shows a double charge for that dinner.

In firearms, it means loading two powder charges into a single cartridge, which can cause dangerous overpressure.

Electrically, it can describe charging a battery or capacitor twice or to double capacity.
