O.P. never claimed it was 'recharging' when it failed. Probably doesn't even have an external power pack recharge function. He only stated that rechargeable batteries seemed to work without any problem in the scale. There was a time period shortly after removing the mercury from alkaline batteries that they were still being sealed and sold as 'leakproof' which we all know is a joke with alkaline technology. During that time period alkaline batteries were known to burst right on the store shelves. It was a lesson learned and now they just leak and corrode right on the store shelves!! I have switched to the Ultimate Lithium batteries for my wireless mics and dive lights. Sadly, very very costly and you don't get double the watthours for double the cost!!! Knowing they don't leak or explode is good peace of mind but absolutely don't try to recharge an ultimate lithium eveready battery. I did just for the hell of it. It doesn't work and they get very hot as they internally self destruct and become totally unusable. |
