Since remotes don't consume a lot of juice, I usually will put the non rechargeable batteries in the charger for like 5 minutes, while monitoring them for temperature or anything out of the ordinary. That usually gives the remote a whole month worth of energy (granted, we don't use it much).

Never try this if you're prone to being distracted and forgetting them in there though, that's recipe for a fire.

Then please post something like this:

Last month I wanted to turn on my TV, but the batteries in my remote died. Out of stupidity, I put the non-rechargeable batteries in my charger for five minutes. I ended up calling the fire department and spent $9,000 on remodeling the living room.
$9,000 can buy a truck of batteries.

You can recharge non rechargeable batteries just fine a few times.

Well that is not what I experienced, so I won't.
