contents Quantum batteries (QBs), harnessing quantum systems to transfer and store energy, have garnered substantial attention recently, enabling potentials in enhanced charging capacity, increased charging power, and device miniaturization. However, constrained by the weak interaction between the quantum nodes, the implementations of QB networks exhibit limited charging performance. In this work, we propose an efficient approach to improving charging in multi-battery systems by capitalizing on nonreciprocity. By constructing non-Hermitian Aharonov-Bohm triangles to establish unidirectional energy transfer in both cascaded and parallel configurations, we can achieve a significant enhancement of the stored energy in QBs especially in the weak interaction regime. Remarkably, the nonreciprocal cascaded setups display an exponentially increasing gain in the battery energy as the charging distance lengthens compared to the reciprocal counterparts. Furthermore, we demonstrate that nonreciprocity can also lead to the same enhancement in the charging power of QBs, accelerating the charging processes. Our findings provide a practical pathway for enhancing the charging performance of QBs and exhibit the potentials for constructing efficient QB networks.
