rechargeability

Can be replenished

Rechargeability is the capacity to be recharged—to have power or energy restored after depletion.

The term appears most often with batteries: The rechargeability of lithium-ion cells makes them ideal for portable electronics.

It occasionally extends to metaphorical contexts like emotional reserves or creative energy.
