saturated

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fully charged' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'used a tart mixture' is the wordplay.
'mixture' indicates anagramming the letters.
'used'+'a'+'tart'='usedatart'
'usedatart' with letters rearranged gives 'SATURATED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saturated that I've seen before include "Drenched" , "Extremely wet" , "Thoroughly soaked" , "dripping" , "Sodden" .)
