It doesn't mention the new low discharge rate "hybrid" NiMH batteries.
These might be a better choice for your phone because their
self-discharge rate is lower. If you find that your batteries have gone
flat even though you haven't used the phone then these new batteries
might be a good choice for you. You can recognise them because they are
usually sold fully charged.

It depends if the phone is kept on the cradle most of the time. *If it is,
the batteries will be on trickle charge so the self-discharge won't matter.
