Normal Alkaline batteries can be recharged !

[Joh70]

thats interesting, i heard this long ago, but then heard nothing more about it. i also think, industrie is not interested.

i have an also interesting fact about batteries:

i also heard, that almost dead lead-gel and lead-acid batteries can be reanimated almost to new state, via several complete load and unload cycles COMBINED WITH positive pulses (appx. stabalized at 20V at 8 kHz in case of 12V batteries) to crack the lead-sulfate-crystals.

afters this reanimation, they act almost as new. excluding batteries which were shorted before and died therefore.

Never tried this by my own, but i heard, that serious companies use that method, to extend lifetime of their electric-vehicles. so also works with heavy and strong car-batteries in continous use.

Hi guys

The Batboostor is (claimed to be) specially designed to recharge Alkaline and Saline batteries (and also rechargeable batteries). ..

Please consult: HTTP://www.alphysis.com/ from where you can download a notice in English, French, German or Spanish

Maybe this will be helpful for pulse charging

Gentleman;

Between 1990 - 95 (I think, getting old....LOL) I used to record late night movies on VHS and watch them later.....one day I happened about a late night infomercial about a battery charger on one of the tapes

The device was invented by a professor at McGill university in Montreal (I think, again!)  that had a round device with slots that accepted all kinds of normal batteries (transistor/AA/C/D etc.) and would monitor and recharge them and shut them down while continuing to charge the others    BTW...I found out in 2000 or so while taking to one of my closest friends about it and he seen one of the devices in a local store (Canadian Tire) and it wasn't there for long..... Typical !!!

I never bought the device back then (Kicking myself now....LOL) but anyways here's the kicker...

The inventor showed a scope shot of the charging secret...and guess what?

Short sharp shots...RING A BELL!!!!.....  As seen in many projects in this forum and all around the world for the last 100 years or so

Telsa said it in many of his patents....Short sharp shots of high voltage and high frequency   Does wonderful things... Dangerous as it maybe but it's all up to the inventor to take precautions...right?

To make a long story short, you can recharge normal batteries, I've done it with the bedini system while experimenting a few months ago as stated in:

http://www.overunity.com/index.php?action=post;topic=3793.msg67900;quote=67900;sesc=0a290752afbd769aef659e56a5c9af50

I was trying to experiment with the charging side impedance using an 8 x 1.5 V AA batteries @ 12 V setup and was able to use 2 of the freshly charged batteries in the camera until last week!!!  Yes it took energy from my source battery to recharge them so no OU there but it did save them from the landfill   

A while back I did a search for such a device on the web and it's still possible to get one (although not the same model I had seen) but check this one at http://www.theweb2u.com/

It would be interesting to hook up that model to a scope and see what output comes out and what it looks like   I would bet it's the old Short sharp shots of high voltage and high frequency

NOW YOU CAN:
? Save money by recharging batteries and safely extending their useful life
? Keep batteries fresh and ready to provide power
? Lower the amount of batteries entering landfills and their impact on our environment  (Not sure about this one if you're using the grid )

Later guys....keep pickin' at it...someday we'll get it

With respect,

@Goat

Yeah I had that idea immediately after reading the posts here, to use Bedini Solid State Oscillator and try charging Alakaline batteries. But since I have no empty ones (actually have just one AAA, waiting for my girlfriend to finish the other one in her mp3 player ) and then I'll try it on a pair and see what happens...

As for "some day getting it", I hope that day comes sooner than later
