http://www.batteryuniversity.com/ From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Spiro Sent: Sunday, 15 August 2010 8:17 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] batteries 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.
