Can you really recharge alkaline batteries? Yes—you can

Can you really recharge alkaline batteries? Yes—you can, if you do it correctly. In this video, I show how the circuit board from a common solar path light can be used as a simple, low-current charger for alkaline AA and AAA batteries. We’ll talk about why alkaline batteries need to be recharged at low currents and why the simple garden light circuit works for this purpose. If you’re into DIY, electronics hacks, recycling, or saving money, this is an easy project worth trying.  Click on the picture to see my YouTube video…
