Battery
Open the Control Panel Screen to change the block''s Charge Mode. Automatic: The battery charges itself if there is excess power on the ship, and discharges (provides power) if a block needs it. This is the recommended default. Choose Automatic if your ship has several batteries to charge from Wind/Solar/Reactor or from a base.
Is there any way to not wait so long for batteries to charge?
If you have a few batteries on your base and let them charge while you''re mining, building, etc you can set your ship batteries to recharge when you get back which will charge your ship batteries faster. There is some power loss when you''re transferring from batteries to batteries though so at some point you will have to add more power generation.
How do I dock an unpowered small ship to a large ship?
Place a small battery on the small ship. It should have enough charge to power the connector and the thrusters for a few seconds to minutes. When you have the small ship recharged, switch the small battery to recharge. Leave it in that state until you are in that situation again.
Recharging Vehicle Batteries Faster :: Space Engineers General
Batteries need to be put in recharge mode to charge fast, it takes 10-12 min for a small ship large battery to charge when its in recharge mode. If left on auto and connected to a connector it actually helps power your whole station, that is why you have a slow recharge time. Its discharging and recharging at the same time on auto mode.

Battery Questions? : r/spaceengineers
The most efficient battery in MW/kg and MW/m³ is the Small Grid Large battery. In Small Grid, always try to use large size batteries since they''re way more efficient in every way. Batteries also can charge and discharge in 5 minutes at max input/draw. Put down enough to run your ship for as long as you need, basically.
Battery
Note: battery cells will be recharged as long as the battery has at least 1 kWmin of charge, even if it is not connected to the grid. The recharge rate can be changed in game through the UI or wire signal to the set_charge_rate pin. A low recharge rate reduces the power load on the reactor, but takes longer to refill after a load spike.
Transfering battery power? :: Space Engineers General Discussions
My mining ship runs on 4 battery packs. at full load it will last 4 hours before needing a recharge. (particularly autonomous vessels).

Edit Oh! and I delete the Reactor(s) and Uranium when
Ships battery died. : r/spaceengineers
Assuming the base has power to spare, charging will be automatic. But if you go into the control panel (''K'' menu) and find the battery, you can set it to recharge, which is bit like making it a priority. Don''t forget to turn it back to auto mode before you use the ship, though, or you''ll just fall off your connector when you disconnect.
Tips on charging my ship faster?
The point is, setting base to discharge will only stop base batteries from charging but not really force a discharge or the ship to charge faster. While setting ship to recharge will make them charge with max possible speed regardless of base batteries being auto or discharge. There is still that battery efficiency (80% charge) question. So

Why do ships need batteries?
Batteries are one of the energy sources available onboard vessels which are used in case of blackout and emergency situations on board a ship. These batteries are used for low voltage dc system like bridge navigational instruments and thus need to be kept charged to be used in case of any need of temporary power.
How does a ship battery work?
As it can be seen in the diagram, the batteries are in standby mode with the charging switches C closed and the load switches L open. The positions of these switches are held with the help of an electromagnetic coil against the spring tension. The electromagnetic coil gets its supply from the main power source available on the ship.
