Never reproduce this at home fire danger single batteries cannot be recharged. This kind of video should be censored.
Thank you for your feedback, I will test it many times to see the results. In fact, any electronic device you charge is at risk of fire. Have a nice day!

This is total bollox, don't do it!!!!

@@GausDIY "In fact, any electronic device you charge is at risk of fire. " That's an inane statement which shows you don't know how to carry out a basic risk assessment. Some devices are simply not designed to be charged and have a much higher risk of causing issues than devices that are designed to be charged.
When I was a kid I found that I could do this with a wall wart and my cassette player. The batteries would charge up but not last last a day and then eventually started oozing acid.
It's not acid, but yeh.

This is the first thing that comes to mind for amateurs, but it only lasts for a while and there is a risk of Liquid leakage. Use rechargeable batteries. The best in the world is Panasonic's rechargeable Evolta, next up is Eneloop.
ok but the battery do not keep the new charge any longer, ! just test it after 1 or 2 hours after charging it, the voltage decrease fast , even if not working...
You can't properly check these batteries with a Multi Meter unless you provide some sort of resistance load across the battery. "Yup 1.6 Volts!" N o Man. That is only the Potential difference while not being used in a device. No current is available for long.
There are ready-made battery holders on the market for €1-2. In this arrangement the batteries may leak or explode. In any case, the charge acquired is minimal, it will never be like that of a new battery.
And the capacity of the recharged battery is minimal. Also the voltage drops quickly even without discharging it.

Do not do this! Years ago I tried reactivating a battery using this method. To be safe I enclosed the gear inside a metal cookie tin and then left it in my garage charging at about 100 mA. When I returned later my garage was full of black smoke! Fortunately no damage was caused except to my pride!

Las baterías ( o pilas ) secas no se recargan ....yó lo hice con un transf y es cierto q vuelve a su carga normal .....hay q controlar el calor d la pila mientras se recarga ( para q no estalle ) .....el problema es q la carga aplicada no dura absolutamente nada ...o sea muy poco ....las pilas o baterías secas tienen un proceso d una pasta dura q almacena los electrones ...cuando estos pierden la energía, la recarga es inútil ...porq son secas ....carga ...pero no dura nada
Exact!
Exactamente : la confusión viene de la palabra en inglés "battery", cual tiene que ser precisamente "rechargeable battery" para lo que llamamos batería y que podemos recargar, que no hay que confundir con la simple "battery" que es una pila (versión moderna de la pila de Volta) y no se puede recargar.
Holy shit just go out and buy a pack of batteries for a $1.99... 🤡
If you can use a battery twice, you will not only save $1.99, in your entire life you will save more than $2000, you will also reduce overall pollution since you will use half the regular consumption. And the easy part is that you don't need to make that gadget, you can use any battery charger and it would work...

People have been recharging "dry" batteries for over 100 years. Competently designed systems use a variable power supply with a (milli) ammeter in series to minimize the chance of excess current causing the batteries to overheat and burst. The best results have been mediocre with the recharged cells having but a small fraction of the amp-hour capacity of new ones.
It cant get usable capacity...only for a while, when it stuck for some energy angry devices it will be usable for seconds
I used it for my wall clock, so far it's still working fine! Thank You!
@@GausDIYits always better than buy new firstly .best wishes 😊
This is not a how to restore one trip batteries, this is flogging a dead horse. Getting an apparent immediate readable voltage does not mean a recharged battery. It wont have much if any ampere hours in recharged storage. Its slightly dangerous too, they may explode in your face. A one time battery works at the principle of sacrificing 2 different metals according to galvanic series (search and read) exposed to an acidic solution that corrodes the least valuable metal. Battery dies at the depletion/total corrosion of that lesser metal. But hey, I like your home made battery array. You could make some nice power packs for rechargeable batteries with those. Go shop some 18650 Li-ions or so and have some fun. Long range e-bike? Electric moped ? Solar panel power bank ? Lots of people throws away power tool batteries when they fail, usually its only a cell or two that has gone bad and there are usually many in each pack, each holding 3,6V as healthy. Both most battery power tools and most laptops uses 18650 Li-ions. There´s a good and free waste reuse supply.
We have a charger that can recharge ordinary batteries.(I bought it about 20 years ago and its called battery manager ultra) It trickle charges them. I have used it for years without problem. A battery charged with it will work a second time and run out more quickly. It can then recharge again and each time runs out faster. I think about 3 times is the limit. The better batteries do best with it. Very cheap batteries you only get one recharge and then they just wont . It shows a screen with how its doing, whether its viable and turns it off when its done. You cant do lithium or damaged batteries with it. Your idea seems similar but I suppose you havent got a safety measure so you must monitor it by eye and not leave it when charging.
@logothaironsides2942 Do you have the manufacturer and model of this charger?

When I was 12, I used to do that with a long string of battery's on the Home phone line in my room. 1966. Whenever I did that, the phone would not work. People would call and freak out and call 'Bell" I never told my mom why but my batteries were all good..

Besides this, it has got power again, but for how long? The capacity is most important
Capacity is maximum 25%of original,maybe it can works few days maybe weeks in remote controller for tv or something similar non hungry for current....

I liked the understated background music....
I found it easier to buy a Bulk Pack of AA Batteries when I was in the DIY store. Can't be bothered with all that messing around to save pennies.
Ive recharged regular batteries for decades now. Yes some batteries when recharged will burst and leak all over the enclosed charging box so i set the box upright so if that happens the acids will only leak on to the lower pad. Ive recharged several two or three times before discarding. Never had any of them explode like a bomb although that can be a possibility so the reason for the enclosed box as an additional safety. Last five years i only charge nickel-cadmium, lithium, metal-hydride types. Got lazy to clean the box when one of the older lead-acid batteries would leak.
昔流行ったけど、充電用ではない電池を充電すると液漏れ、発火、爆発等の恐れがあるのでメーカーは警告してるよね
I just wanna know, how many hours this charging, once the batteries are charged, last ?
They tend to lose the charge by themselves without any use.
The best part of this video is the camera.
Putting then in a warm place (on a radiator or in the sun if you're in a hot country) works just as well.
Yes, I remember putting the flat alkaline batteries from a handheld game on our hearth as a kid and when warmed through they lasted a few hours more...👍
you can recharge discharged alkaline batteries once in a while if you charge with pulses. There is a risk of explosion because gases are formed inside the battery.
Juste une remarque : Vous contrôlez la qualité d'une pile avec un voltmètre numérique. Or pour s'assurer qu'une pile possède encore de l'énergie, son contrôle doit se faire en courant sur le calibre 1Ampère et si possible avec un ampèremètre à aiguille. Si l'aiguille dévie brusquement à fond, c'est que la pile a de l' énergie. Si l'aiguille se déplace sur le premier tiers du cadran, la pile peut aller au recyclage. De plus votre intervention est dangereuse.
Merci pour le partage et vos suggestions. Vous êtes une personne bonne et polie. Je vous souhaite, à vous et à votre famille, toujours joie et bonheur ❤️
Eh puesto baterías no recargable en un cargador. Pero solo lo eh dejado por unos 2 minutos. Sirven para un control remoto. Seguramente dejándolas más tiempo se recalentar a y explotaran
Si estas baterías se las expone al sol durante un día con su positivo apuntando a mismo se carga

“I know a way to do this in an even more complex way,” said the Snow Queen.😀

@@GausDIY Baking soda and superglue form a very sturdy bond.
forma un plastico muy duro que refuerza el pegamento, pero no es aconsejable este metodo de recuperacion, ya que las baterias no recargables una vez cumplido su ciclo mueren, solo que si quieres recargarlas toman una carga que dura efimeramente y se corre el riesgo que estallen o se incendien. Es peligroso y no rinden casi nada
Soy de cuba,si se pudiera comentar el vídeo ebacuaria muchas dudas.
Richtig ist, man kann Alkali-Mangan Batterien ETWAS aufladen, bei Zink-Kohle hat man quasi keine Chance. Allerdings rate ich von dieser abenteuerlichen Methode wie hier gezeigt dringend ab! Die Chancen einer platzenden oder gar explodierenden Batterie sind hoch. Und wenn dann auch noch ätzende Kalilauge ausläuft, kann es teuer und für die Augen gefährlich werden! Ich hätte bei diesem Thema wenigstens das Rückstromladen/Reflexladen von Ernst Beer (Patent 1952) verwendet, wo man periodisch 10 %. des Ladestroms zum Entladen nimmt. Dadurch sinkt der Innendruck erheblich, was die Explosionsgefahr deutlich reduziert, und die Dentritenbildung wird drastisch reduziert, was bei Akkus und deren Schnellladung dringend anzuraten ist. Achja, die Leerlaufspannung zu messen macht wenig Sinn, man sollte diese immer unter Belastung messen, denn auch ziemlich leergelutschte Zellen können eine hohe Leerlaufspannung haben, was man dann mit voller Zelle verwechselt. War das ein Beitrag aus der Reihe "Jugend forscht"?
I have done this for years and I am going to give you certain facts. 1- Never recharge them more than once 2- Never recharge them for more than 1:30 hours 3- Always recharge in a safe area and away from flammable objects 4- Never recharge if you are going to leave them unsupervised 5- You can use a rechargeable battery charger 6- Once recharged, the useful life of the battery is 50% of its previous life time 7- It is a lifesaver when we do not have the possibility to go shopping or when we do not have time to go 8- The first test should be in a patio or a safe area of the house, since they were not designed to be recharged, some of poor quality could deteriorate easily, heat up to the extreme, release some liquid or even catch fire. 9- Better buy rechargeable batteries, I have been recharging my batteries for more than 5 years and they continue to work perfectly and I have saved a fortune 10- Free Palestine!
Free Palestine....with every five gallons.

Use a battery charger, for any battery type. But, alternate dry cell batteries with the nondry cells to act as a capacitor in the circuit. The dry cell batteries will prevent the nondry cells from overheating and melting the plastic insulation. You can reuse any type of batteries about 8 times before oxidizing gases or deteriorating conditions sufficiently reduce quality.
Thank you for sharing useful knowledge

A voltage of 1.7V after "recharging" doens't tell anything about the capacity. To put it simple:There are rechargeable batteries and non-rechargeable battries. Never try to recharge a normal battery. It's a waste of money and time. Besides, it's dangerous, as they can explode

This is really easy to test if he is right or wrong. 1 Take a new battery and test how long it takes to get empty with a device. 2. Take his "charged" battery and see the difference in working time. I would guess that the charged battery gonna last about 30% of the time a new battery lasts. So it might be a "temporary" solution but not a miracle one. I would rather use lithium batteries since they are cheap enough, have more power, and are truly rechargeable. Or just use a Ni--Mh rechargeable battery like Eneloops or others since they are cheap enough too.
Se quer recarregar há pilhas recarregáveis e seu carregador próprio
Este tema de recargar baterias no recargables, es posible, pero no siempre funciona, depende del desgaste interno de los materiales que producen electricidad mediante una reaccion quimica al interactuar. Es decir si estos materiales han perdido sus propiedades, por mucha carga que se intente, las baterias seran incapaces de almacenar la energia y aunque midan e voltaje correcto son incapaces de retener la carga. por otro lado las baterias no recargables al no estar diseñadas para ser recargadas, son propensas a explotar.
日本人の発言が見当たらなかったので、コメントします。 一次電池(普通の乾電池)の充電は、ダメ絶対！🙅です。非常に危険です🔥
PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS. As an electronics engineer I will just say "This is very likely to result in a fire". Batteries that should not be recharged could explode. Now we have a real fire risk !!!!!!!!!
Do this if you want the possibility of catching your house on FIRE!!!

never try recharge a standard battery u risk explosion or something.

Never do this guys! Non-rechargeable batteries may explode!
The battery will leak, it will ruin your gadgets.
そのとおりです。 これらの1.5V乾電池は完全な逆反応が優先的に起こる化学物質の組み合わせが見つからなかった時代の規格です。 ですから、充電すると、充電反応の他に、副反応が起こる。それで排出しきれないガスと化合物が発生する。最終的に液体かガスが噴出し、噴出しきれなければ破裂する。 また、充電後の使用時にも新品とは違う反応も同時に起こるため、ここでも電極の腐食やガスの発生が起こり、異常加熱と合わせて機器を破壊する。 その上充電に使った電力よりずっと少ない電力しか使えないし、大したメリットがない。 日本でも非正規品を取り扱う商店で良く充電器が売られていたが、電気工作知識を持たない人に売って問題が続出した。 特に大電流機器や長時間放置機器に新品と同様に用いて事故が起こっている。
Cheaper to go and buy batteries.
Clueless. Rechargable batteries are best.
The method used to check multiple batteries is to line them up with the polarity to your right, (if you are left handed) and then start at the battery furthest away and work towards yourself, as you run across an unsatisfactory battery, you simply put enough squeeze on it to pull it out an flip it off to your left side, usually leaving a void so you don't forget where you left off, Now I still owe you nine (9) minutes of waisted time, Or is that time owed back to me ?
これは危険なのでやってはいけない。 この電流を逆に流す方法はかつて話題になったし、専用の機器が売られていたこともある。内部抵抗を減らす効果があるらしい。しかし、マンガン電池ならまだしも、アルカリ電池でやって液漏れが起きると大事です。 アルカリ電池に負荷をかけることで液漏れした場合、液の成分は強アルカリ性なので人体にも機器にも有害です。

Zuerst einmal: Du könntest von vornherein aufladbare Batterien (=Akkus) und sichere Ladegeräte verwenden bzw. kaufen. Es gibt auch schon gute und sichere AAA und AA 1,5 V LiIon-Akkus mit USB C-Anschluss. Ich glaub, das wäre der sicherere und auf lange Sicht der bessere und billigere Weg. Und du müßtest nicht so lange amateurhaft herumbasteln! At first: You could also generaly use or buy rechargeable batteries and safe charging devices. there are also some good and safe AAA and AA 1,5 V LiIon batteries chargable with normal USB C cables and USB power supply. I think that would be cheaper and better in the long run. and safer. And you can spare these "simple" makeshift solutions ...
This idea is creative but I would not try recharging "non rechargeable" batteries. I tried that with a certified battery charger and a few of them were expanding like they were ready to explode and cause a major fire and personal injury. This was many years ago but never tried that again. I always use certified battery chargers that only can charge "rechargeable batteries. That's why they are manufactured for those that need to reuse batteries. I do give you full credit for trying to invent a battery charger for "regular" battery types. That would be incredible if it succeeds and gets patented. Update, I saw the full video and you did succeed. Looks like this method may work, but did you use heavy duty batteries or did you use alkaline batteries. I tried with Duracell Alkaline and those were the ones that expanded severely, even on one attempted recharge.
personally my experience was while its possible to recharge alkalines if they are not to far gone it increases the chance of leaking and if it damages one good product there goes all your savings. i lost may favorite flashlight to something like this.
Oh Dear! Not another "you can charge up ordinary batteries!"! Everybody goes through this stage as they play with electricity and batteries. We have all done it, to our cost! DON'T DO IT! It is quite possible to recharge a non-rechargeable battery, but what people don't realise is that it is the case of the battery that is not designed for the purpose as much as anything else. Way back in my youth I recharged a number of different batteries and they all leaked corrosive chemicals into my battery cases doing a lot of expensive damage. DON'T DO IT. SIMPLES!
