The charges just come from suffixes. Like other suffixes, there's a list of allowed items and sometimes disallowed items. There are often (always?) two affixes with different allowed items and some different parameters.
For example, there are two Dim Vision charge affixes:
One requires alvl 12 to spawn and clvl 24 to equip, has a min value of -60 and a max value of -8, and is allowed to spawn on wands, daggers, and heads.
The other requires alvl 24 to spawn and clvl 24 to equip, has a min value of -20 and a max value of -5, and is allowed to spawn on rings and circlets.
The min and max value don't have an inherent meaning. They're used in conjunction with the item's ilvl to determine what the slvl and number of charges would be. This post describes how they're calculated, but at the moment, I can't confirm that it's all accurate for 1.10.
In order to look up what charges can appear on a certain item, you can use this calculator. The slvls it lists for the charged affixes are, AFAIK, completely wrong, so ignore that.
