I have a handfull of rechargeable batteries that my el cheapo chargers report as dead.
I find that if I put the AAA batteries reported as "pining for the fjords" in one of my old cordless dect phones and put it on charge in its phone cradle they'll then charge up.
Must get a better battery charger.

I use a lot of rechargeable AA and AAA #batteries. One day I really should get a better battery charger. Also need to get to IKEA & get some new Ladda batteries (which are eneloop batteries, still made in Japan).
