regarding Buddy-l Alkaline Recharge:
GH> I have had very good success at recharging standard alkaline batteries
GH> but I did have one that ruptured and did inturn leak. So becareful!
hmnn.. so the Eveready "microprocessor controlled charge" is just a buncha
hokey that can be bypassed w/ tin foil?.. interesting..
As far as the Buddy-L, I have had good results from it, depending on the
condition of the battery being charged.. ie: it will charge a lightly
discharged battery to better than factory voltage (as much as 1.56v), but
if you recharge one that's nearly dead, it will bring it to 1.36v to 1.48v,
not quite factory voltage, but still better than Nicads or dry-cells...
... I'm not paranoid, just a student of history.

I am sure that the micro-processor does what it says. Its the batteries that
are a scam, its all in the design of the posative end of the battery. I will
see if I can draw it here.
NORMAL BATTERY
___/----\___ l l <--plastic insulator
l l wraps up and around to
the top of the battery
Rayovac Rechargable Batter
___/----\___ l l The Rayovac has no plastic
insulator l l around the top of the battery. there fore
using the sides of the battery for the posotive connection of the charging
system.
All the Rayovac Batteries that I recharge give off the same smell (gas) when
being recharged as do the normal alkalines do that I recharge using the quote
foil method.
