I just purchased two new phone batteries for my cordless phones. They will not hold a charge. I am wondering

Question

what could be going on with them. I do not put them on the charger between each use (have been told not to do that.) I may not have charged them up enough. One I left on the charger for 24 hours, the other 8 hours. Doesn't seem to make any difference. They go to a radioshack 2.4ghz , the batteries are Ni-MH 3.6 v 750mAh.

There was someone in the household who kept putting the phones on the charger the last 3 wks or so. But that surely isn't enough time for it to have an effect on the charge memory and besides I thought Ni-Mh's didn't have that issue.

I have let them go down completely, and have put both back on the chargers for several hours and I still only get a few hours of use out of them. Any ideas?

Answer 1

will first off when you get new batteries you have to charge them up all the way. the factory dose not have them in a full charge staged. the butteries could me died by the time you bring them home to use in the cordless phone. these batteriess are just like a cell phone batterie. and if you charge the batteries up and nothing works you need a new cordless phone.
