It seems darn near impossible to find the right battery for my cordless
phone. I have been able to find them under two bucks, but the same web link
lists like three separate amperages for the same battery. I recall something
about peak and mean amperages from ages ago, but might someone update me how
this applies to these kind of batteries. I don't suppose 3.6v .3-.9 amps is
the rating for batteries about to explode, but better to ask. (Although the
USENET seems to be inhabited by so many growling intolerant ignoramuses most
of this new century, I wonder why I bother.)

Buy any battery pack which has the same form factor (number/size of
cells--usually three AA-sized batteries), unsolder or cut off the
connector and replace with the connector on your old battery. Use good
soldering technique and insulate wires with heat shrink tubing. Observe
proper polarity.

Or...go to your local Batteries Plus store and have them do it for you;
since you probably don't have the requisite skills.

That's it, asshole.

Happy New Year.
