- Somehow, my separate batches of 'good' and 'bad' household batteries got mixed together. So, what are the voltages below which alkaline and conventional battery types AA, AAA, 9 v, C, and D should be

- There is no hard and fast rule. I don't save batteries that test lower then their "advertised" voltage. That is, less than 9V for a 9V battery, or less than 1.5V for most everything else. For some us

- This would be akin to throwing away your car when the change compartment is empty. Battery voltage and charge reserve have only a passing relationship, especially considering the many battery chemist

- Reasonable assumption : by "conventional" he meant carbon-zinc. These are "flashlight" battery sizes after all ... and for both carbon zinc and alkaline battery chemistries, no load voltage is a fai

- My rule is that when I take out batteries from something, I'm not doing it because I'm bored, I'm doing it because I'm replacing them. And I throw away the old ones. I mean, I'm a packrat and all, b

- It sounds like you'd recover the cost of a battery charger and a collection of NiMH batteries pretty quickly. NiMH cells are much much better than NiCd cells were. They've got higher energy storage,
