I got into this discussion with someone who primarily uses cheap chargers to recharge alkalines. I found it quite funny that people actually would do this when Alkaline cells are notorious leakers. Some will argue that they only leak if misused but i have had a few leakers just sitting doing nothing out of the device and i prefer using NiMH technology anyway.
Heck i'll use NiMH cells that barely maintain 1.2 volts and doesn't produce many milliamps but work fine in clocks or remotes but i wouldn't recharge alkalines but at the same time i do understand that some people out there are strictly no budget or they are mostly just cheap and would rather clean out a remote that has been subjected to alkaline leakage then buy a pack of Eneloops that will most likely never leak in it's lifetime.
But there, plenty of folks out there who have different methods in doing stuff and i don't knock anyone who still uses alkalines or will actually recharge alkalines. I just would prefer to keep alkalines out of my devices, other than ones that i don't really care much for or what not. But i have nearly depleted all my alkaline supply on this pest repellent from Black And Decker. So i was curious on whether anyone surfing this site actually charges alkalines on the regular basis, or even in a pinch. Personally if i need more batteries, ill just buy some Eneloops. May not be in the budget but i find they are worth every penny.
