Can someone recommend a cordless phone that has long lasting batteries

I have two cordless phones, and when they were new, the batteries last 3
to 4 days, then after a few months or so of usages and
charging/recharging, they no longer hold charge as long, and it gets worse
and worse until the charge will hold for only about 15 minutes.

I understand those batteries have memory and you have to let it die before
you recharge and if you leave it on the charger too long it could also
ruin
it. However, I simply cannot manage to do that, I have two cordless
phones and I don't want them to die in the middle of a call, so I do
charge them before they run out, also I don't remove them from the charger
as soon as they are done, I sometimes leave them on the charger too long.

I have purchased new replacement batteries and they work for a few months
and then back to not holding charge again.

Are there cordless phones out there that will hold charges? I am ready to
toss my two phones into the garbage!

Those batteries probably only need reconditioning and are not dead. Too bad
they dont make the plain old AA batteries. Likely because they want you to
keep buying from the... Plenty of reconditioning devices for AA and AAA
batteries, I dont know any for phone batteries though.

Most newer phones should not have too much of a problem. Anyway, why are
you trying to get batteries to last 4 days? Is there no charger around? I
would change my brand of phone. My panasonic I have had for about 5 years
and the batteries will last at least 4 hours. i dont talk that much
though.
