Alkaline battery chargers (2023 Update)

And why would we test a poster named Larry, Moe, and Curly?

I don't think we can be bipartisan, on this one. As for me, I've recharged single use alkalines, for years.

It hardly seems worth it. After you recharge one for years, how long does it last?

LOL good one.

Like I said before, a dry cell (or any battery for that matter) will partially recover just by letting it sit for a while.

In addition to the chemical reaction running it's course...a dry cell will make a transition from "moist" to "dry".

If you poke holes in the side and soak it in salt water you actually can gain some charge...but you'd have to tape it up and still it would probably leak. Might be useful on Gilligan's Island though.

They never ran out of clothes. Someone must have been marooned there before they were.

That's good information, it's just at least 15 years out of date and alkaline batteries have changed since then. Not in their basic form but in many subtle ways to improve their performance. ^_^

TDD

Because we three have cited proof, unlike somebody in the newsgroups who keeps preaching a false prophecy fabricated by a pedophile and convicted con artist whose tale has never been shown to have any archeological proof, according to even its followers. I'm not saying it's crazier or less valid than other beliefs, just that its original prophet wasn't at all sincere, unlike the true believer bipolar or schizophrenic prophets of ancient times.

Yes, but she disappointed me before the day was over.
