@ b_rads:
The charging that goes on from the cement cells may not be long lasting at times, but it is constant, like a drop falling into a bucket. And it takes some time to condition the other batteries to accept the charge, but they will get used to it, after a while.
I've had luck charging lead acid batteries, and the charge lasted longer than when charging the batteries using a regular wall charger. But, the idea is not so much to see how long the charge will last on another battery, but instead to see that together they can continue to output energy permanently, by mutually self charging. A high farad capacitor would probably work great in soaking up the charge from the cement cells or your penny cells, and may even help to raise the normal voltage that these cells would output just by themselves. So, there's alot to learn...
