Talk:Batteries

Alkaline batteries are chemically rechargeable, but most of cells are not designed for that, so if you try it, you must be careful and avoid overcharging, otherwise the battery could increase its length and eventually POP, and remember "Once you pop, the fun don't stop", so better be careful recharging them and control the voltage.

I've been recharging alks for a couple of years. IME 1. they usually leak, either before use or in use. Beware. 2. Some work well, some work adequately for low drain goods, some don't work. If people are recommended recharging, they need to know how. 'Control the voltage' does not cut it.
