The correct energy transformation for the process of charging batteries by turning a handle is:

kinetic to electrical to chemical

When you turn the handle, you use kinetic energy (from your motion) to generate electrical energy (which charges the battery), and then that electrical energy is converted to chemical energy stored in the battery.
