Well, I don't think the tritium can be "recharged". The real questions that you should be asking are: How do the basic costs compare between the battery dot sights and the tritium dot sights? What is the service life of the battery sights? What is the cost of the sight spread over the life of it?
Which sight will stand up to extended use better? and Which sight do you like the looks of best?

I have had little experience with either type sight but know a few people that use the electric dot sights. They all seem to think the more you spend for a sight the better it lasts but still switches and wires break.
