Ray-o-Vac tried to market rechargable alkaline batteries a few years back. They were not very reliable. It would have been a good product, if it had worked. You needed a special (expensive) charger which had a negative return on investment. I tried to make it work, but most of the batteries failed after fewer than ten charge cycles.
I remember those, the only advantages they had wers that they could hold a charge for more than a year and had a higher capacity than NiCds. The downside was that they were only good for ~100 cycles. Those advantages were wiped out first by NiMH cells with more than double the capacity and more recently with the advent of NiMH batteries that hold a charge for more than a year.
