ELI5: If you could zoom in and watch something charge it’s battery, what would you see?

Like a cell phone or a laptop. Would it be like, a stream of electrons dumping out of the charge cord and into some kind of receptacle? Would they fill in randomly or orderly? What keeps them from escaping, thus keeping the charge?

Imagine a retail clothing store that has a bunch of customers but no sales. Throughout the day the customers ruffle through the neatly folded clothes, try them on and put them down somewhere else. Completely disorganizing the entire store. 

That is you using your battery.

At the end of the day, the employees run through using their tiny hands to pick up crumpled clothes, fold them, and reorganize the entire store. 

That is the charging. 

The electrons come in through the wall, reorganize your lithium ions and leave.
