If memory serves me correctly alkaline batteries are parasitic meaning they will drain the other batteries of their charge.

okay, Tom or someone explain this to me: a toy my kid just got says this: do not mix *alkaline, *standard, or *rechargable batteries do not use *rechargable batteries. It's a motor, that tosses little sponge ring 30 feet. It's like a semi-auto with the magazine above instead of below. So why ot mix, to start, and what reason not to use rechargables for the 2 AA needed? I've mixed batteries before. What should I have noticed? I have a dozen rechargable AA and have placed a tiny piece of scotch tape on each one so I don't toss them out. Even though it doesn't save actual energy it saves the containers constant disposal. ------------------------------------ Send any questions regarding list management to: blindhandyman-ow...@yahoogroups.com To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: blindhandyman-h...@yahoogroups.comyahoo!
