Their not /supposed/ to be recharged...[we're referring to the little 2032
or 2025 watch style batteries].   However, if you have a power supply, you
CAN tape a lead to the positive side and a lead the negative side and let
it charge at 1.5V for a few hours.  Of course, there are all sorts of
disclaimers here, recharging alkaline batteries "can" cause them to
burst/explode/catch on fire...  I've never had that happen, but it is
something to be cautious of.  Much easier to just buy the 2-3$ battery at
radio shack.
