Yes, and years ago you could buy rechargers for ordinary carbon-zinc
cells, but they don't work very well. Why bother?

I remember the Duracell "rechargable alkalines" and the chargers sold
for them by from about 10 years ago. IIRC they didn't stay in the market
very long.

I remember those rechargeable alkalines. Never worked very well. In
