Thread Name: Recharging alkaline batteries
Subject: RE: Recharging alkoline bateries
I would agree with all the comments regarding the lack of suitability / reliability of recharging primary (non-rechargeable cells & batteries).

One attraction of primary alkaline cells is that they are generally of a much higher capacity than 'proper' rechargeables, although I have no idea of the capacity of a recharged primary.

If a primary cell is to be recharged it's perhaps a good idea to limit the number of recharge cycles.
