Esa,
It is well known that "pulse" or "burp" charging of secondary (as
well as primary batteries) can make the battery appear to accept more
charge than conventional charging, and do a more efficient job of
charging >when done properly<. This is due to several factors such as
prevention of dendrite formation (in secondary batteries), bubble
removal in liquid electrolytes, and reversible (up to a point) chemical
changes (see for example http://www.mpoweruk.com/chargers.htm). However
in the conventional alkaline batteries (which are actually rechargeable
to an extent by pulse charging) such as Newman used, the batteries will
quickly die after initially appearing to be re-charged. Therefore in
long-term total energy tests of such systems, Newman loses. I consulted
an engineer at Ray-O-Vac shortly after the Newman demo to check on this.
I'd suggest you do as well, if it is still an issue. Do not trust any
"free energy" claims involving batteries until you have completely
understood that the battery and its internal chemistry form an integral
part of the proposed circuit.

what did you realize was happening, please?
i'd be interested in finding out what you realize is happening in the
john bedini battery charging device (1 battery of same voltage
charging 4 batteries of same voltage)
