    Hi

    My parents have an Eircom cordless phone with just 1 handset and base.

    The batteries in the Handset are no longer holding a charge and so the handset is failing mid-calls etc.

    What kind of batteries are these if if need to look for replacements...???

    Where would I get them. I believe there are the small AAA size.

    They have put in ordinary batteries but these only last a few days and then fail again

    Any help appreciated

    You should be able to get replacement batteries from Maplin Electronics. They have outlets in most major cities.

    If they're AA or AAA you can buy a set of four rechargables in almost any electrical shop. In some of the bigger shops there can be a big range on offer in terms of battery capacity and technology.

    Look at the specs. and make sure it says 'Ni-Mh' (Nickel Metal Hydride) and for AA try to buy 2,500 capacity or higher and for AAA look for 850 or higher. The numbers refer to mAh or milliamp hours and indicate the relative size of the charge the battery can store, the bigger the better.

    Make sure not to buy Ni-Cd batteries, this is now old technology and should be avoided.

    If the handset takes three batteries, best to buy a set of four and throw one away, do not buy two pairs as they may be from different batches and will wear differently which is not good for the overall life of the batteries.
