Rechargeable alkaline battery:-

Rechargeable alkaline battery is a type of alkaline battery that is rechargeable. This technology was developed by Battery Technologies Inc in Canada and licensed to Rayovac, Pure Energy and Grand cell. The shapes include AAA, AA, C, D and snap-on 9-volt batteries. Unlike NiCd and NiMH batteries, rechargeable alkaline batteries have the ability to remain charged for years, and, if produced properly, are environmentally friendly forms of energy storage.

Chemical Composition:-

Chemically they are the same as regular batteries. The main difference in the composition between rechargeable and regular alkaline batteries is that the blend of the materials and the formula used to make the batteries has been altered to allow for the batteries to recharge. Without this modification in the chemical composition, the batteries would not hold multiple charges.

Proper Use and Durability:-

Although these batteries can be used in any device that supports a standard size (AA, AAA, C, D, etc.) they are formulated to last longest in periodically used items. This type of battery is best suited for use in low-drain devices such as remote controls, or for devices that are used periodically such as flashlights, television remotes, portable radios, etc.

Chargers designed for NiCd and NiMH batteries are not suitable for charging rechargeable alkaline cells. Similarly, only the charger distributed with the batteries, or sold by the same company is suitable for charging them. Otherwise, problems could occur due to the slight differences in formulas and composition of each product.
