Can one "recharge" them?

And how can you tell if they need it?

If they do their job, they've absorbed moisture. So can you microwave them to get it out and make them more- functional? Or would that be like cooking popcorn.

Yes, they can be recharged.

I bought this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OUXA2Q

They are blue when "dry" and turn purple when "full." According to the Q&A they can be recharged in the oven. A couple hours at 275 degrees, though there are varying answers on this.

I use these for my workout headphones (bluetooth). I sweat a lot and keeping them in a bag along with these helps prolong their life.
