I've just bought a batteries charger, and I have only 2 rechargeable batteries, and much regular and empty batteries. Could they be charged? Have someone tried? What would happen if I try? I would really want if someone who tried answers this. Or if you know someone who tried. Any help is appreciate.

Recahrgable batteries - rechargable battries for rechaging
Hi vucjak, regular battries cannot be charged at all. Even if we try to charge them there is every possibility of explosion as the battries get heated up during process of charging. ithink onlry rechargable battries like nicd na dothers can only be recharged,

Thx for the answer. Have you ever tried that? I know about the risks, that's why I wanted to hear if someone tried, before I do that on my own.

Ya idi tried but looks like it gets charged but not able to operate even for few minutes. In fact it cannot provide that much current.

Thx man, I won't do that in that case. I guess, I'll just go and buy more rechargeable batteries.

I have a friend once that charge non rechargeable batteries and it did somehow burn. I think it could have exploded had he not cut the connection. However, if you are familiar with alkaline batteries, like energizer, there is actually a charger that charges this kind of battery. I have one which I bought from a Chinese dealer, and it really did function well. But after about three to four charges, you will have to dispose it since it no longer accepts charging.
