Consecrated Weapon
Source Adventurer's Armory
Consecrated weapons may be of any type — swords, axes, masterwork, mithral, and even magical — and function appropriately. When activated, the cleric charges the weapon with positive or negative energy (as appropriate) so it deals extra damage when it hits a target. This functions like the Channel Smite feat, except the additional damage is equal to half the cleric’s channel energy damage (the target makes a Will save as normal, based on the cleric’s channel energy DC). The weapon remains charged with this energy until it successfully strikes a creature or 24 hours pass, whichever comes first. Creatures other than the cleric are able to use the charged weapon and this ability.
Will a consacrated weapon discharge if it hits a creature not affected by the kind of energy stored?
Like an evil priest has his weapon charged with negative energy and hits an undead with it.
Is the charge expended?
The description seems to say yes.
But does that make sense?
And can you channel other energy into the weapon? Like with elemental channel, when you want to hurt an elemental?
It states it functions like channel smite and that only mentions positive and negative energy.

Like an evil priest has his weapon charged with negative energy and hits an undead with it.
Is the charge expended?
The description seems to say yes.
But does that make sense?
Yes. Per the description, it discharges as soon as it successfully strikes a creature. You do not have the option of holding the charge. In your example, the undead would be bathed in negative energy, effectively healing it.
And can you channel other energy into the weapon? Like with elemental channel, when you want to hurt an elemental?
It states it functions like channel smite and that only mentions positive and negative energy.
No. The weapon desctiption specifically limits the options to positive and negative energy.
