Burn grape skin with an amount of electricity (6)

I believe the answer is:

charge

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

'an amount of electricity' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'burn grape skin' is the wordplay.
'burn' becomes 'char' (charring is a kind of burning).
'skin' suggests removing the centre (only the skin or outside of the word is used).
'grape' with its centre taken out is 'ge'.
'char'+'ge'='CHARGE'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for charge that I've seen before include "Fill; fee" , "running cost" , "Attack - cost" , "Impose fee on" , "Rush forward in attack" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
