it's my dad's old friend from highschool and he's kinda got a screw loose.

anyway he says the battery companies just say "do not recharge" so you'll buy more and that he's tried and normal alkalines do recharge. he put some in the charger to show me. btw it has a nicad/nimh switch. which way is *less likely* to explode? :confused:

they *can* explode, it's not definite.

and i've heard of people who successfully charge them too. but i've never done it myself, so don't take it from me.
