General Comments: First replacement battery for this phone. The OEM battery pack is physically larger (3 X 5/4 AAA's) and rated at a higher capacity (3.6V @ 800mAh), than this replacement (3 X AAA's, and 3.6V @ 750mAh). We live in the country, with several detached buildings from the house (garage, sheds, barn, etc.), and have no neighbors withing 3500+ ft, line of sight. The handset (Uniden Mod. TRU8865-2), provides clear reception up to 1200ft from the base unit (w/OEM battery's), and is used throughout all the buildings and property. We have 3 handsets, and a base unit.
MY Concerns: 1) longevity of battery life, and 2) ability to deliver power to phone, per my daily usage requirements.
I have marked the install date (on the battery), and will monitor it's life and power over the next several weeks/months, and follow typical NiMH battery usage/charge guidelines. I reserve final judgment on this battery (vs. to 2+ years on the OEM BT-446), until such life tests have been performed. If the battery pack performs as expected, then I will replace the other handset's battery packs, as necessary with the same one.
Most people dont understand the battery charging process. You cant leave your phone on charge at all times. Taking it off when you talk and putting it back on after your finished isnt cutting it. You must leave your phone off until its time to charge it. Normaly take it off during the day and charge it at night. try these tips before giving these batteries a bad grade. I have had my battery for over 2 years by doing this and its still going!!!
we have had the phones for at least 3 yrs and replaced the batteries maybe 1 or 2 times. we use the phones quite a bit. Have 5 handsets
I bought this battery for both my Uniden phones [...] and charged it for almost 2 days to be safe. In less that 60 days the phones began dying after only 90 minutes of talk time despite my being assure it would last 6-7 hours. I have a backup cordless unit in case of a dying handset, but I had used the same Radio Shack battery in it also. It too died only after 90 minutes or less. This battery is terrible and I'm going to get my money back.
Listen to me. These batteries do not last. As soon as the warranty experies, the batteries die. Ours died in about 3 1/2 months.
i've been getting suspicious about these batteries dying prematurely so i started to write down the date i installed them - they've been getting worse: the current one died after only 2 and half months
I purchased two packs for two phones. Neither pack lasted for more then four months.

I bought 2 batteries, both died within a few months.
I use this for a year half i guess, it worked fine but slowly it reduced its charge.
I got about 9 months out of the batteries, and now they won't hold much charge. We almost always let them run out before charging, so I don't know if they could have lasted longer.
I got a year and a half out of this battery. You def get more life out of a battery if you cycle it(run it down before recharging).
I bought 4 replacements and all were useless within 6 mos. At least they cost a lot!
Bought two and both are dead after a few months.
I BOUGHT 2 AND BOTH WERE BAD WITHIN 6 MONTHS.
Battery did not last 4 months.
