Yes, it can be done, if you put 4 (6v) or 8 (12v) batteries in series or use a dropping resistor to obtain the correct voltage. By using an automobile battery charger 6v to 12volt (start), normal alkaline AA-AAA, C, etc., can be recharged by touching the positive (red) and negative (black) jumper cables to the same pos+/neg- ends on a bank of AA or AAA alkaline non-rechargeable" batteries. WARNING! Some batteries may explode if not used properly. If cables are continuously touching the batteries for too long, it could cause it to pop, snap, or heck, even explode, splattering battery chemicals about, scaring the person. Better batteries don't explode as often as the less expensive ones.

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.


How long does it take to recharge a standard AA battery?

It typically takes around 1-2 hours to recharge a standard AA rechargeable battery using a battery charger designed for rechargeable batteries. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid overcharging and damaging the battery.


Why does a battery connected to an uninteruptable power supply unit heat up?

UPS's recharge the batteries during normal power. The recharge current will make the batteries temperature rise some.


Is it normal for battery charger to get hot when charging but batteries don't fully charge?

Yes. The battery charger exerts more electricity than the batteries have itself. If you touch it and it burns your hand. IMMEDIATELY turn it off.


Are there carbon monoxide fumes from a battery charger?

Due to the chemical compositions of batteries (most batteries contain a form of acid which reacts to create electricity) neither the battery charger nor the battery is likely to produce CO (Carbon Monoxide)


How do you charge a boat battery?

The same way you charge a car battery. The only difference in them is that the marine battery is a deep cycle battery, meaning it is designed to be run completely down without damaging the battery. Ideally you need a charger designed to charge deep cycle batteries but you can charge one with a normal battery charger.


What is immediate charger and strong battery?

Immediate charger is a charger that can charge battery immediately. Strong battery is a battery that can live much longer than normal battery and have unlimited data.


What exactly are lipo batteries?

Lipo batteries are lithium polymer batteries. What makes them special from normal batteries is the fact that you can recharge these batteries so they last forever.


Can a conventional battery charger correctly charge an AGM battery?

Yes, a normal charger will work just fine.


Can a car recharge its own battery if the battery goes completely dead?

A car cannot recharge its own battery if the battery is completely dead, because you need excitation voltage in the rotor to develop a voltage in the stator. Besides, you need voltage to run the ignition/computer system, and you need voltage to start the engine. That said, most batteries are not completely dead. If you can jump start the car, and assuming there is no electrical problem anywhere, you can run the engine and charge the battery. Problem is that most car batteries are not designed for deep discharge, and the probability that damage was done is greater than normal. Also, if the battery is very deeply discharged, you probably ought to charge it with an external charger (with the battery disconnected from the car) until its voltage is somewhat normal and its electrolyte is within limits for specific gravity.


Battery is dead when accidentally leaving lights on?

normal just recharge it


What happens if your computer battery fails?

if the battery won't recharge or won't hold a significant charge, replace it. the decay of battery life over time is normal, and replacement batteries are relatively inexpensive. Check to make sure, however, that it's the battery that's failed, and not the charging system on the computer.
