  How many times can you 'recharge' this?

  Isn't this simply an almost DIY electrochemical cell you make in highschool labs. Using lemon and nails?

    Not rechargeable according to their FAQ:

    Can you keep re-filling Aquacell batteries ?
    No. Aquacell batteries are activated when you add water. Once they have expired, they can be recycled, but not recharged.

  However these batteries have failed to make an impact due to their extreme low power output, very short active life-span and high cost. Moreover, due to the chemical reaction involving magnesium, these batteries are known to deform and cause damage to products used with these batteries

  Cool idea but not liking the risk to my items

  1000mAh is only for low power applications

  This is not rechargeable, only uses water to activate by removing barrier between + and -.

  Or you can buy good quality rechargables for a similar price per battery. They're also reliable and high capacity.
