What happens if you recharge alkaline batteries that are not meant to be recharged?

I made the mistake of recharging my alkaline batteries and one of them has white flaky concrete foam like stuff all over it. I just want to make sure it doesn’t do anything to my skin and that of my roommate. The battery charger also has some white flaky stuff. I believe thats from the leak as well. Please answer ASAP

    not much to worry … just get rid of the battery safely

    Trash the battery. Use some isopropel (rubbing) alcohol and a cotton swab to liberally wash the crap out of the charger. It will corrode it if left to do so. You can re-charge alkaline batteries with a smart charger and while monitoring them for heat (if starting to get warm to the touch, quit charging them), but they won’t come up to full capasity and so won’t last as long. This is only for use in an emergency if you need some battery power for a short time and don’t have replacements.
