Hi All,
I was just reading on Wiki about alkaline battery's and it said you can charge them so I did. It works great STOP THROWING OUT DISPOSABLE BATTERY'S.

You are right my friend!   What voltage did you charge em with?

[vincent68]

I just used a charger that is made for rechargeable battery's

Thanks Vince

do we know how many charges they can take before they give up totaly?.

Please give attention to load not over 1,8 volts. !!
Voltage above 2 volts will disturb , leack or explode the cell.

Via 3x 1n4001 in serie, (added in conventional charger)
you can hold the maximum loadvoltage low.
(any recharcheable batterie us to LOAD , 20% OVER the nominal battery voltage
Devices must not "unload" lower than 25% of capacity. So the batteries can load up to 25 times.
