Sorry to quibble, but voltage is potential difference, which implies a capacity
to
do work but it is not energy. When current is flowing (amps), work is being
done,
and that is energy. Volts x amps = watts. Energy is measured in watts, not
volts.
So, let's consider the power equation,

Sorry to quibble, but voltage
Thinking about for awhile
Yes, as the battery is given a higher and higher voltage (while maintaining
a constant current, that's the key) ... yes ... more energy/power is
flowing.
If in doubt ... consider this:
1 foot of resistance wire ... takes (for example) 1 amp flowing through it
to make

Stray Comment
I think though, that if the current drops (as the battery charges) ... that
the battery will charge slower and slower.
