Can someone recommend a cordless phone that has long lasting batteries that
will not "degrade" a lot over time?

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
memory effect is mostly a myth. Best strategy is to ignore the concept.
Letting the batterys run all the way down is far far more harmfull.


REALLY!


I thought that was what you were supposed to do -- let 'em run
all the way down to zero, and only then recharge them.


Like with electric toothbrushes, razors, etc.

Question: was that EVER true?

Question: are there different recharge-rules for different
products, kinds of things, etc?

Thanks!

Hi,
I'd go for DECT 6 phones with lithium ion batteries.
Ni-Cad batteries have been known for memory effect for sure.
