Anyone know it they work and how much energy you get after a charge,
compared to a new cell?

http://www.allaboutbatteries.com/Alkaline-charging.html

How many times can an ordinary alkaline battery be recharged?

Would you believe hundreds of times? The trick is to stop using the
battery well before it has given up all of its available stored
energy. Note that this is directly opposite to the instructions that
were packed with your battery-operated drill or screwdriver with its
NiCad batteries. When the drill stops turning, charge the battery,
but not before. Good rule for NiCads, but not for alkaline batteries.

Good rule if you want to reverse charge and destroy cells in your nicad battery.
