Your cordless phone won’t offer much without a battery. Staples has cordless phone battery options from trusted brands to help ensure you’re never without the performance you need. Learn more about cordless phone batteries from Staples below, as well as how to optimize your battery’s life.
Choosing the Right Cordless Phone Battery
First, it’s important to note that you must purchase the cordless phone battery that corresponds with your phone’s brand and model. The battery you choose may also depend on how much you use your phone. Also note that a cordless telephone battery is different from a typical household battery. It’s specially made to power and be compatible with a cordless phone.
Look first at your phone’s brand and browse the available cordless battery options. The brand of your phone and battery should match, or you could cause damage to both. Staples offers popular brands such as Panasonic, AT&T, Motorola, VTech, Insten and more, so you shouldn’t have an issue finding a match. Also look at the phone’s model number. This should match your cordless phone battery as well. The product description of each battery option should list its compatible model number.
Outside of these necessary considerations, you may also want to look at capacity (mAh) specifications and choose the cordless phone battery that will give you the longest lasting overall battery life for your phone. There are also eco-certified and eco-conscious cordless phone battery options available at Staples.
How Long Do Cordless Phone Batteries Last?
There are three main types of cordless telephone batteries: lithium-ion, NiMH and NiCad. Each has different capacities and affordability. Lithium batteries are the most modern and high-performance option. These are known to last the longest. NiMH and NiCad batteries don’t provide as long or strong of a charge, but are usually more affordable. Battery lifespan largely depends on usage, however, with the average battery life being between one and two years.
How Can I Improve the Performance of My Cordless Phone Battery?
Note the following tips if you want to improve the performance of your cordless phone battery:- Charge up to full battery on initial charge
- Regularly clean battery terminals
- Avoid excessive heat exposure
- Be sure not to excessively charge your phone (Note: Some batteries include a microchip that prevents overcharging and lengthens battery life.)
When Should You Replace Cordless Phone Batteries?
Over time, all batteries lose the ability to hold a charge. If a phone suffers from reduced talk time or quickly discharges when it's not in its charger, an old battery is likely the culprit. Replacing it with a compatible rechargeable battery should restore phone performance.
