I can think of one series with non recharging energy shields, well, kind of.

Honor Harrington books by David Weber, starship energy shielding is a side effect of the gravity system used for hyperspace travel, top and bottom shields are effectively indestructible, but sides left vulnerable and covered by a weaker (but still powerful) gravity sidewall. Once those sidewalls go down, they're down completely. Emitters have to be replaced entirely.
