Someone explain this to me ...

I have a wireless keyboard and the batteries that came with it (Duracell) lasted over a year and a half. I replaced them with No Name Brand AAs and, obviously, they're complete chit (I got them from my parents). Anyways, I just went to replace the batteries for the 3rd time in 3 months, and I took my multimeter to them.

The batteries are wired in series. 1 battery was at 1.38 volts while the other battery was at 0.5 volts. I was confused, so I tested several other batteries (which all tested 1.6 volts) and tested it again and it came up as 0.5 volts every time. I put the old batteries on the table and, when I went to throw out the one that was 0.5 volts almost 2 hours later, I tested them again to make sure I was throwing out the right battery. Anyways, when I tested it, the battery that was 0.5 volts is now up to 1.02 volts ... It hasnt' been charging or anything, just sitting on the table ...

How did it charge itself ?

I"ve been hearing a lot of talk about how turbos are illegal, but mainly from california folk.

Justin, do you know offhand if the aftermarket turbos will fail emmissions in texas?

are illegal on what kind of vehicle??

i know they're legal stock on some cars, but i want to put one on this rxs and i have no idea if they're legal in texas or not.

the only thing i kow that could possibly be related is this:

if You take two batterys (aa - d) and roll them together in your hands, this will bring the float voltage back up, or even "revive" them enough for one or two more uses.

other then that, i have no lcue

cooled down so there is less internal resistance?
