Note on standard alkaline batteries:
The charger can charge most types of alkaline batteries. Please use the setting “ALK” on the
sliding front panel of your charger. Please note due to the chemistry of standard alkaline batteries,
they cannot be recharged nearly as many times as standard rechargeable type batteries like Ni-Cd
or Ni-MH batteries. The charger can recharge most standard alkaline batteries 75-90% of their
original capacity, up to 30+ times which is really depending on the quality and condition of the
battery. Please make sure there’s no dirt, rust or leakage on your standard alkaline battery and the
battery hasn’t passed the expiration date before you charge them. To prevent battery leakage,
please use the alkaline battery within 3 days after charging.
Please note that this charger is intended to charge rechargeable Ni-Cd, Ni-MH and RAM batteries
AA, AAA, C, D and 9v block batteries. Not All Alkaline batteries can be recharged.
On an environmental note, the cost/performance comparison between standard alkaline batteries
and rechargeable batteries such as Ni-Cd (Nickel Cadmium) and Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride),
rechargeable batteries are more cost efficient with better performance. Using rechargeable
batteries can reduce the waste to our environment.
