These should be charged( The arrow usually in the Green). Also look at what they are rated for. This is equally important. You want something that will work with a grease fire as well as an electrical fire.
Having a couple of fully charged extinguishers can be the difference between a damaging but controlled fire and a total loss. You Mountain fire departments in many cases are all volunteer.
