Juice up your disposable cells with Battery Wizard

We all know that battery chargers typically recharge nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride cells, but the Battery Wizard claims it can top up disposables, too. Yes, this charger can recondition standard alkaline batteries for reuse, by up to 10 times.

The only catch is it won't work on dead alkaline cells. Though not specified, we suspect this device will also not recharge older manganese batteries (think heavy-duty or super heavy-duty cells)

The charger is designed to power up to four batteries and will accept AAA, AA, C, D, and 9v block cells. There’s even an LCD status display and an automatic cut-off function to prevent overcharging, hence saving electricity.

The Battery Wizard retails online for 24.95 sterling pounds (US$40.70). While it may seem a little pricey for a battery charger, the fact that this can extend the life of your alkaline cells should help you save money and reduce waste to the environment in the long run.
