Now here's a device that you could say reaches the status of alchemists and, even more, defies the laws of physics also. Meet the Battery Wizard, which is said to extend the usage life of throwaway batteries by up to 10 times or more and also that of alkaline batteries.

All of the common battery classes are supported by the Battery Wizard, including AAA, AA, C, D and even 9V blocks. An LCD backlit screen will provide you with visual status of the charging, separately for each battery, capable of recharging a maximum of four batteries at the same time, condition only to be alike. This way you can save money and time – instead of having to go to the minimarket whenever your wireless controlers, remote controls and various other devices run out of batteries, why not reuse them until they're completely drained?

Looks like actually it is possible thanks to it using the latest pulse wave charging system that will allow charging normal batteries up to four times; not really charging them, but merely reconditioning them so as to use completely the valuable chemicals they have packed in the shell.

And you’ll not only save money and time, but also help reduce toxic waste - and we all know how toxic batteries are - helping the environment. The charger can only charge batteries of ordinary type, alkaline, as well as rechargeable Ni-Cad and Ni-Mh, but will not revive completely drained disposables.

It runs off mains outlet, and an AC adapter comes included in the package. Another means of saving power is the automated cut-off function that shuts the power when the batteries are charged. For this alchemist gadget charge you will have to pay no more than $49.45 – a price that easily adds up and pays itself within a few weeks or so.
