Transistor, cellphone, and car batteries are used to charge vehicles, NVGs, or radios.
You don't need battery cables unless you are recharging the the cellphone battery with the car battery.

I mean I don't press cables to charge the batteries I don't understand but how do I do it what do I have to do to recharge the batteries

What do I have to have to recharge the batteries and if they explain to me how I recharge them better

You can't recharge the blue batteries (or the car batteries) at this time. You can use the car battery to charge the cell phone batteries, however.

It's not 100% clear to me what batteries you actually want to charge but you can recharge
smartphone batteries.
1.) Have car battery with enough charges in inventory or vicinity.
2.) Have jumper cables in inventory or vicinity.
3.) Have smartphone battery you want to charge in inventory or vicinity.
4.) Right click on smartphone battery and click 'charge with car battery' - done.
Never tried with the small blue ones, but I assume it'd be working the same way.
If it's not working for you like that, I don't know. Maybe it's skill related and you don't have the skill. I'm not sure about that.
Works for me every time though.

As marktkm said in post previous to yours:
"You can't recharge the blue batteries (or the car batteries) at this time."

The blue batteries are 9 volt transistor batteries (like the ones you put in your smoke alarms at home).

Fair enough. What I figured basically, hence I never tried. ;)
I just like to have a charged smartphone battery in my travel box, just in case. :)

That is correct.

I can recharge a car battery with a car battery and the cable, managed to get one up to 77/100.
Not talking about recharging a car but the actual battery.

Aha! See, guess one just needs to experiment a bit and figure things out oneself. Best way to learn about things. ;)

Thank you, so it wasn't car batteries but the normal blue batteries that can't be recharged then.

The blue batteries are just 9V block batteries, while smartphone and car batteries are rechargable ones; so it would make no sense if you couldn't recharge a car battery with another one.
Still took me some time to figure the how-to :)
