SUMMARY
Charging throwaway batteries, such as 6V batteries used in flashlights, using a standard 9V battery charger is ineffective and unsafe. A pulse recharger is required to recharge non-rechargeable batteries, but even with this device, the batteries will store significantly less charge and have a limited number of recharge cycles compared to rechargeable batteries. Therefore, investing in rechargeable batteries is the more economical and safer option in the long run.
