We always replace our two phone in the base unit/charger and have not had a problem with the manufacturers batteries. We were told this was a suitable replacement for our phones, yet both batteries we purchased lasted only 3 months - unacceptable.

Short lifespan

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Tho the price wasn't bad at all, I expected a longer life out of the battery. 90 days (3mos) is NOT ample time for a phone battery. That would mean I would have to replace it 4x in a 1 year period @ a cost of [$] not counting taxes. For the same price I would buy a replacement phone with a battery life of at least 1 year.

Doesn't Anyone Know How to Use a Phone??
By Mike from Estes Park, CO on 6/24/2008
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

From all the negative comments it is clear that[...] have not been explaining how to treat a battery once you buy it...and the customers have no idea.Manufacturers rate this type of battery as having a one year expected life. Typical use gets 18 months to two years.Ni-Cad batteries like this have a "memory." If you keep using it for a little and charging it up again, eventually it forms a chemical barrier that keeps it from discharging more than that little you routinely use.To avoid this, start by giving the battery a good 20 hours on the charger when you buy it...without interrupting it by using the phone. Then keep it off the charger until it is full drained and charge it up for a good 20 hours again. This keeps the chemicals that hold the power mixed and keeps the battery working fully. You can easily get 4 years of life this way.At the very least, leave it off the charger and use it until it runs down completely -- and then fully recharge it -- at least once every 3 months.If you are going away on vacation for an extended period, take the battery out of the handset.There. Now you know how to get a good life out of any ni-cad phone battery. (And at the price of batteries you want to get all the life you can!)

This battery does not hold a charge well. I bought two before I realized this (one after the other). Both were way below expectations for a[$] battery.

Only used the cordless handset 3-4 times per month for no more than 20 minutes or so. Always kept it in the charging unit otherwise. It died suddenly after only about 5 months. Unacceptable performance.

Won't take or hold a charge
By Tom from Orchard Lake, MI on 5/6/2008
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Pros:
It fit, None
Cons:
Not Durable, Won't Hold Charge, Won't take a full charge, Worse than the old batter
Best Uses:
Short conversations
Describe Yourself:

Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This battery was a total disappointment. I should have kept the old one at least I could understand why that didn't hold a charge for very long. From the first day until now this would never fully charge or hold a charge. I'm going to replace it but not with a Radio Shack brand battery. This is a piece of junk.

will not keep you talking!

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We have cordless phones for our business and home. This is the first battery we bought from Radio Shack and are disappointed that it will not hold a charge. Each passing day it lasts less and less time; it now has less than an hour talk time and can not be left off the charger more than 24 hours. Our other phones are left off their chargers till they need to be charged for days. This one can not last even 24 hours. Horrible product!

No holds charged.
By Nancy from Carmichael on 9/25/2007
Cons:
Not Durable
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

When your phone requires this battery, you are kind of stuck. Better read the battery reviews before you purchase the phone. Even though we charged our batteries, let them die and charged them again; they have a memory and don't hold a charge.

don't over charge
By sarahl2998 from south carolina on 8/28/2007
Primary use:
Business
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These batteries will not last long if you dont take care of them properly . Don't expect much out of ni-cd batteries if you leave them on the charger. It is best to charge only when they get low.

By Kelly M from Phoenix, AZ on 5/16/2007

We bought two for our home phones. We rarely keep our phones off their chargers and these batteries did not hold a charge. We thought it would get better after they were charged for a long time, but we had to replace them soon after. Worthless!
