I saw an advert for a battery charger that claims to charge ordinary
batteries - primary cells. The specific ones shown in the ad were Duracells.
Are these chargers any good, or are they a waste of money? These batteries
say that they cannot be recharged. If this is true, how many times can it be
done?

Primary cells can be recharged to some small extent, but their capacity
falls off rapidly with each recharge. There is also a risk of them
exploding due to pressure build up during charging - hence the warning.

Makes more sense to buy rechargeables.
