They are not supposed to be recharged, but with careful control of waveform they can be used several times.

That is the sketch - not surprised I couldn't remember the details completely correctly as it is more than thirty years since I saw it. Many thanks for the link.


I agree with you about the recharging. I discovered many years ago you could recharge many supposedly single use batteries, but unless you have the right facilities to do the charging safely the cost benefit/risk balance just doesn't weigh up.
