Has anyone tried to recharge the disposable lithium batteries with this charger?

I would strongly recommend against attempting to use a disposable lithium battery in this charger. There is a high risk of the disposable battery damaging the charger.

If someone tried they probably aren't around any more to answer your question.

Please don't the are created with different chemicals that cannot be recharged. Chemical reaction would occur under heat created by trying to charge it and possibly explode. Cheaper to buy rechargable batts

I recharge mine and they seem to work fine. I usually only recharge them 2 or 3 times then I toss them.

Yes. I have 4 chargers (32 batteries) plugged into a switched power strip. I use the switch on power strip to reset the chargers.

I have only used non-rechargeable lithium batteries. I've found that one charge drains those batteries completely.

The short answer is yes, they work fine. A lithium-ion battery does require it's own charger, but in the case of my Craftsman powered tools the lithium-ion charger will also recharge the conventional ni-cads.

Yes, I use a battery tender etc a small charger that will not over charge any battery .

No I haven't, but I do charge the battery using a USB charger and bring it with me to charge my iphone, try with GoPro.

I use eneloop rechargeable batteries and recharge them in their own charger.

I have had some batteries that I was able to recondition. Others didn't respond to recycling. I have had great success with eneloop batteries and plan on only purchasing them when I need more batteries. It's a great charger.

I'm using a basic generic charger to recharge, Enloop, Duracell, Failsafe and Energizer batteries and never had a issue. I can't say whether a Duracell charger is going to definitely work, since I don't use one. If in doubt try charging a pair of Enloops and see what happens.

Just a couple of guesses. I have two chargers - one never worked - thought it was the battery, but the batteries work when charged on the charger that works. Somewhere in their info I read that the batteries shouldn't be drained down to zero - has that happened?

No. I tried the same thing. But there is circuitry to prevent overcharging which would damage your batteries that is missing in the circuit.

I had issues with that. And the battery. Bad cell. Return was quick and painless tho. Amazon got me a new battery in 2 days. The charger I would recommend only using one that specifies lithium. Battery tender was out of stock so I got a battery tender plus charger. You can leave it on the battery for long periods and it's safe with lithium. I hope this helped.

Yes, I have the Li and the NiCad. The Li charger works on both batteries btw. The Li battery really performs

No. The charger directions specifically say it's for use with rechargeable batteries only. You should not try to charge "regular" batteries in the charger meant for rechargeable batteries.

I'm using this with rechargeable batteries since around 5 months without any issues. The ones I'm using are from Eneloop (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009LU9150/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1), wonderful capacity; charger I'm using is also from Eneloop only (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058GZWXQ/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1)
