Can I recharge my wands?

Sorry for asking newbie question again.

Can I re-charge a wand after it had exhausted all its capacity? If so, how or where should I obtain the service. Or is it just a disposable item.

I may be wrong as I don't use wands very much but if you sell one (for 1gp) when you buy it back (for a lot more) it is fully recharged.

Just choke down a bottle of that master thievery potion when you have got a lot of wands with only one charge and sell, then steal them back and they are fully charged, but some consider this cheating, thats why I never use it....

Well I think both of the ways are acceptable. Sell it to the store and pay for a fully charged wand is logical. Stealing it is a bit evil but that's what a theive do and he takes risk in getting the prize, so its a fair deal.

I agree with lym, I think the thieves way is not cheating... though I don't use wands, not enough powerful in comparison of spells. Except maybe for the wand of summoning, but I only tried 3 kind of wands (summoning, lighting and cold), so I don't know if the others are nice.

Another interesting way to recharge items could be the Stronghold for Mages. When they get their Stronghold, they should be able to recharge items. But, maybe we will have this feature in BG3
