You can to some degree recharge conventional alcaline cells, but is somewhat risky, and I don't think there is a whole lot of capacity gain.
If you want to buy battires with the thought of reusing them, but rechargeable alcalines, or even regular rechargeable cells.
My own experiments say that you can get away with recharging alkalines if you put them in a freezer and use an air cooled charger.
At the very least they won't explode then.
that is, the charger with batteries in the freezer. Not hust freezing the batteries and then put them in the charger.
also can anyone give me detailed plans on how to make alkaline battery charger thxs
Re-charging a battery does not save energy, it just saves the cost of (and environmental damage due to the disposal of) the battery.
Why not just buy a proper re-chargeable battery?
