Why does the phone show my new battery
as having a full charge after 10-15 minutes?
When charging your cordless phone battery for the first time, the
charging cradle may indicate that charging is complete after just
10 to 15 minutes. This is normal with Replacementbatteries especially
if it is a brand new battery. New batteries are more difficult to
charge because they haven't been broken in? Meaning they have been
charged before. You need to use the phone until the handset indicates
a low battery, then charge it until it indicates a full charge.
We recommend you repeat this process 3-4 times.
My phone charger isn't charging the
battery, what can I do?
In the event that your cordless phone charger stops charging the
battery before it is fully charged, remove the battery from the
phone, and reinsert it. This will often reset the charge cycle for
new batteries, and it will begin charging again. You may have to
repeat this several times during the first battery charge.
Tips on keeping your cordless battery
in excellent working condition.
Some useful tips for keeping your cordless phone battery in tip
top working condition are as follows: Keep your battery healthy
by deep discharging it. By this we mean fully discharging and then
fully charging it about twice a month. Li-Ion batteries do not benefit
from this practice, since they do not suffer from the memory effect.
Clean your battery contacts from time to time with a Q-tip and
rubbing alcohol, which helps maintain a clean connection between
the battery and the charger. Never leave the battery unused for
extended periods of time. It's wise to use the battery at least
twice a month. If a battery goes unused for a long time, try a deep
discharge it to bring back its youthful vigor. |
