NiMH 2.4 Replacement Battery for V-Tech 8003 cordless phone battery
This battery, while cheaper than the manufacturer's, was a complete waste of money. The battery lasts about 15 minutes off the charger. Most phone calls at my house are longer than that, and if you want to have the phone off the cradle so that you can have it handy in another room, forget it. My solution follows: I used two AAA rechargable batteries, dismantled the above reviewed battery pack, and replaced the cells with the rechargables...soldering the contacts in place, and taping the cells themselves together. This solution has lasted over two years....much much longer than the original battery and far and away longer than the replacement I've reviewed here. If you are not a DIY kind of person, I recommend against using my solution, but if you feel comfortable with a soldering iron and such, save yourself the money and hassle. I am able to leave the phone off the charging cradle for hours at a time, and have never had any trouble with a call being cut off because of a dead/dying battery pack.
