About a year ago I purchased a Greencell recharger. I have found that it works very well with Energizer alkalines as well as some Chinese ones. I won't mention which alkaline brand does not recharge well, as I don't want any legal trouble! Some consumer groups have criticised these units and recommended nicads instead. I have recharged nicads for years and they are a pain in the neck. And how does one safely dispose of them? - Cadmium is very toxic. My recommendation is completely objective - I have no connection with Greencell. The unit would have at least paid for itself I purchased it. This is a gain for my pocket and the environment. I have even had great success with heavy duty cells in one particular toy! I believe that relatively small lifestyle improvements such as this, by millions of people, will have a major impact on this planet... -- gaz@calvados.apana.org.au (Gary Ash) APANA, Hobart, Tasmania: 002 34 8530
