Hi Jack, 

Was it you who once discussed using a standard AA or C battery to
recharge hearing aid batteries?  I know I had this discussion either
with you or one other person.  I just saw a device called battery buddy
that takes a C size battery and recharges miniarture button batteries.
It sells for about $7.00

-rsr-

... Only the young die good.

Hi Ron,

Yep, it was me.  One of our local SHHH members had rigged a gadget
using A size batteries to recharge button batteries.  I was a bit
apprehensive due to the explosion warnings from the battery makers.
(An ITE aid would be one helluva place to have an explosion :-))

Where did you see this, Ron?  I'd be interested - not in the device -
the information.  Thanks.

Jack.
