Although Carbon Zinc batteries were Not Rechargeable, Back in the "Old Days", it was quite
common the Rejuvinate them using a low current supply.

Today we now have the Lithium Energizer battery.
The "AA" is a Really good battery and the manufacturer claims you can get up to 600 pictures with
a set of them in your camera. Well I haven't got that many, but I believe they are worth the
Extra Cost.


Note: These batteries are also Not Rechargeable
WARNING: This may cause your batteries to leak or Explode.

You do this Totally at your own risk:

resulting from the use of this info or circuit.



These 2 test batteries were Dead, incapable of taking another picture.

Using the Constant Current circuit below, I Rejuvinated 2 of these batteries in series at a
rate of 50 mA for 24 hours.

This Brought the batteries up significantly, But I have no way of knowing exactially how much.

So far I have taken an addiional 50 pictures and still counting.

When they go dead again I will repeat this process and see how often it will work for me.

Guaranteed, the more times this is done,
the Greater the risk of Damage or Explosion.
