Can rechargeable batteries be charged by a car battery charger?

It's a good idea to avoid charging any battery with a charger that was not designed specifically for that kind of battery. A car (vehicle) charger is generally designed to recharge 12 volt lead acid batteries. (The actual voltage of the battery and charge is a bit higher than 12 volts.) Rechargable battery packs come in different voltages, and many if not most are not lead acid types. A lot are nickel-cadmium or lithium types, and they need a "controlled charge" that a vehicular battery charger will not be able to provide. And that's setting aside the issue of the voltages of the battery and the charger, which is critical.
It's a bad idea to attempt to recharge a battery with a charger that is not designed to recharge that "flavor" of energy storage device.

How to charge a dc battery with ac output?
The best way to charge a battery from an AC source is to use a high-quality commercial battery charger that is of the correct voltage and charging profile for your battery. By "charging profile," I mean a charger that is matched to the battery's chemistry and amp-hour capacity. WARNING: Not every type of battery is rechargeable, and even rechargeable batteries can do nasty things if they are not charged properly. If you are not sure you have the right charger, please ask someone for help. If you want to make your own charger, the answer to "how" depends upon the AC source, the kind of battery, and how "good" a charger you want to make. At a minimum, you need some kind of rectification of your AC power. Your battery will tend to discharge during the part of the cycle where it is not reverse-biased, so you will need something like a diode to make sure the battery can't drain itself back into the charging circuit. Cheap chargers for car batteries, for example, are sometimes nothing more than a transformer (to convert the mains voltage down to something suitable for the battery) and a rectifier (two or four diodes). More sophisticated charger circuits are used to maximize battery life (heat from recharging can damage batteries, so charging circuits use various strategies to control the heat) and to provide the appropriate charging profile for the battery chemistry. You'll see a pretty dramatic shortening of the life of your batteries if you don't use a specialized circuit to charge some kinds of batteries. For this reason, you may want to use a commercial charger. If you really want to build a charger, try to get a kit or build from a known-good circuit.

Can a battery charger also test a battery?
A battery charger can be used to test a battery if the charger includes a voltmeter, so you can read off the voltage. Note: A battery charger is designed to be used only for rechargeable batteries. It can be very dangerous to try to use a battery charger to test or recharge normal non-rechargeable batteries.
Can you charge 4 x 1.2 batteries with a charger made to charge 4 x 1.5 batteries?
where did you get a battery charger that charges 1.5v cells. non rechargeable batteries are 1.5 volts. rechargeable batteries are 1.2 volts. i would throw that thing away and get a new charger.

Using a AAA Battery Charger?
Have you ever wondered how you can benefit from a AAA battery charger? Make sure that the batteries you are trying to charge in it are actually rechargeable. Other batteries can cause a fire risk because they are not designed to be placed into a battery charger. Look at the side of the battery to find out if it can be recharged.
