Take a piece of tin foil and tightly wrap it around the positive end of
your standard Alkaline Battery. Then insert it into the charger and
jiggle it until the red light, lights. If you look at regular alkaline
batteries they have a plastic insulator around the outer edge of the
positive end. The alkaline rechargables are metal and do not have the
insulator. The recharging unit has side contacts that contact the outer
edge of the rechargable batteries therefore recharging them. I have had
very good success at recharging standard alkaline batteries but I did
have one that ruptured and did inturn leak. So becareful!
