Our Duracell NiMH AA/AAA recharger has died. I have recently added some

charger, able to sensibly recharge these, preferably in any mix.

I have found this to be pretty good. Being intelligent, it will
also refresh tired batteries.

Seconded, though it can be confused by a cell that has been reverse
charged by being the weakest in a set of 2 or more used in a device.
They are rejected as dead. A few seconds in parallel with an ordinary
alkaline cell with charge them enough for the charger to recognise them
(or keep a cheap dumb charger to hand).


Ah, wondered what that was - get it every so often with my Lidl charger.
Quick blast on dumb charger 'fixes' it, as you say.
