I wouldn't take the risk of recharging Alkaline batteries, for the several partial charges you might get from them. I believe that best practice is to use alkaline for low load applications, rechargeable where you discharge batteries more quickly. Trying to eek out some extra life from alkalines is likely to cost you more in chargers, time and potential damage than I'd expect to save.
