Also, chargers differ depending on whether they are intended to charge NiCad batteries or NiMH batteries. Using the wrong charger for the batteries you have, can damage the batteries or shorten their life. You need to know what kind of batteries you're charging, to determine what kind of charger to use. Lastly, alkaline batteries are non-rechargeable and any attempt to recharge them may cause them to catch fire. -G.

Dell chargers at least and maybe other laptop chargers are a bit of a pain to re-work because they have a third wire that carries a data signal that the laptop looks for to decide whether to accept the power. (power rights management?) Not that difficult to deal with, I have done so successfully, but beware.
