Alkaline charging followup
Hello all
December around the 21st last year I did have a question on charging a rechargeable alkaline AA battery. Using those 2 in my wireless optical mouse. Normal battery did last 1 month Alkaline battery did last 5 month, Alkaline recharge battery 2.5 month, empty reading is 1 volt. Started charging both batteries on 1.68 volt, the charging current was 110 mA per battery. Charging current after 10 hour is 95 mA for both batteries, constant voltage 1.689 volt. Hope this will help someone sometime. Greetings Bert. |

Hope this will help someone sometime. And the number of spontaneous exploding charging cells is still zero, I guess ? -- Kind regards, Gerard Bok |

Remember it is a rechargeable AA alkaline cell. Greetings Bert. |

My apologies. I missed the part about the cell being 'rechargable Alkaline'. -- Kind regards, Gerard Bok |
