Ummmmm they are not charged with anything except pump pressure when they are installed on the unit.
If the inner diaphram is leaking you need a new one or good used one,plain and simple

Accumulators are nitrogen gas filled spheres (balls) with a diaphragm inside that separates the gas and the hydraulic brake fluid. They are not designed to be serviced/refilled, sorry.

SIA Electronics also reconditions them, but I think they only do it as part of rebuilding the ABS Pump.

Reconditioning a hydraulic accumulator sounds pretty much impossible. When you buy them from Prior Reman (if they still have them - call and ask) they are brand new, from Germany.
