Here's another trick I used to use back in high school to get the most out of my batteries for my CD player: If some batteries, let's say 2 AA batteries, are too dead to power your device, take out the batteries and use a hammer to knock some dents into them. If I didn't have a hammer, I'd use use the corner of a door, or cheap batteries were soft enough to chew dents into. Because the denting mixes the acid around a little, you might get about 10 to 20% more life out of your dying batteries.

This is excellent for recycling old batteries, but to recharge them, you'd have to have an input charge on the battery. Battery companies designed their products to be disposable, so good luck of you can even achieve a 75% charge. One small tip I am aware of is that you can increase battery life by removing them from the object when youre done using it, and that colder temperatures will cause the juice inside to expand and thus hold a longer charge.

We use electrical tape with out Christmas lights outlets, they're for not having shorts. If it conducted electricity it would really have a short. I think you mean insulate.

this video is only joke - without connection + to + and - to - isn't practicable transfer energy (electrons). And this isnt rechargeable batteries!! if you trying recharge, then can cause explosion (overheat)

intresting... however ,in min 1.06 you say "secure it with electrical tape. it's called electrical tape because it conducts electricity" wtf??? Electrical tape (or insulating tape) is a type of pressure-sensitive tape used to insulate electrical wires and other material that conduct electricity. it does not conduct electricity!!!
