The recharge rate depends on the kill and explosive power. According
to http://www.phost.de/phost4doc/formulas.html#duringcombat:

Beam_recharge_rate = BeamRechargeRate
+ Trunc((Beam_Kill_Power + Beam_Expl_Power)
* Eff_BeamRechargeBonus / 100)
Beam_recharge_per_tick = Random(Beam_recharge_rate)

There is a "Rec" column in http://www.geocities.com/the_vagabund/PList3/beams30.html.
The values are the result of this formular:
recharge = 4 + ((Beam_Kill_Power + Beam_Expl_Power) * 0.04)
