Anyone have information or thoughts on charging alkaline AA/AAA cells? Some research indicates its possible at low current. I tried putting some AAA batteries that were at 1.35v on my Nitecore charger that will do 375 mah and it pretty much shut off in less than 5 minutes at the hard cutoff voltage of 1.60v. I only found one thread when searching from 2003 which is why i'm bringing it up again.
It seems i need a very low current charger, so it's not worth the time or money.

More of a curiosity than anything, i know it's not the safest thing in the world, i have seen plenty of accidents with people i know accidentally putting alkaline in a store bought NIMH chargers that made them leak bad, but if you had the right charger...?
