Yes, for those rechargeable power batteries. Used in some countries, it was almost reserved for car and truck batteries, but nowadays it is used again everywhere in a context of solar power:

pila recargable ---> small rechargeable battery
batería recargable ---> small rechargeable battery, in those countries where only "batería" is used
una batería (the big ones, or the high voltage ones) is supposed to be rechargeable by definition, though it is not necessarily truth all the time.
acumulador ---> rechargeable power batteries, like those in cars, trucks, submarines, diesel locomotives and residential solar power arrangements, often acumuladores, and even batería de acumuladores (battery arrangement)
