<H2><SPAN id=Recharging_of_alkaline_batteries class=mw-headline><FONT

<DIV class="rellink relarticle mainarticle"><FONT face="Times New Roman">Main
article: </FONT><A title="Recharging alkaline batteries"

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Some alkaline batteries are designed to be
recharged (see </FONT><A title="Rechargeable alkaline battery"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_alkaline_battery"><FONT
face="Times New Roman">rechargeable alkaline battery</FONT></A><FONT

rupture, or the leaking of hazardous liquids which will corrode the
equipment.</FONT></P>
<P>So I’ll be interested in a first person account from someone on this group
before I buy.</P>
