The present invention charges rechargeable alkaline batteries installed in a mobile computer. According to the invention, a mobile computer holds one or more rechargeable alkaline batteries. These batteries are charged when the mobile computer is placed in a specially designed device that is attached to an external power supply and attachable to a second computer for communicating with said second computer. Charging circuitry regulates the charging of the rechargeable alkaline batteries held by the mobile computer or a selector manually manipulable by a user could choose the recharging mode.
