When a capacitor is fully charged I usually hear the phrase "the p.dpotential difference across the capacitor opposes the battery p.dpotential difference, so no more charge flows". What does "the p.d.potential difference across the capacitor opposes the battery p.d"potential difference" mean?

Thanks
