Used to energize cordless phone in home. Couldn't hold charge for longer than 1-2 days even when seldom used but initially fully charged. Nothing good to say a about this inferior product.

Comments about RadioShack 3.6V/850mAh Ni-Cd Battery:

I bought replacement cordless phone batteries from Radio Shack....thier "store brand". They last exactly 1 year and fail. They are NiCad which is cheaper and does not last as long as NmH style batteries. Needless they don't carry the better version in the store.

Comments about RadioShack 3.6V/850mAh Ni-Cd Battery:

I have purchased these 3.6v 850mAH batteries at my local Radio Shack twice in the past 10 months.
I did not realize that the mAH is capasity or charge time. The higher the mAH the longer the charge/talk time. No one at Radio Shack bothered to explain this to me. These batteries have a charge time of less than one hour. If they are used for businees or personal use they are NOT what any individual will need.

Teenagers/business/adults carry on lengthy conversations lasting much more than one hour these days.

I have found on line 3.6v 2000 mAH phone batteries for half what Radio SHack charged me.
From now on I'll study via the net before I make another purchase and I will not buy from Radio Shack.

And to think I thought it was my phones! And the folks at Radio Shack had me believing I needed to upgrade my phones with them to boot!

Bought 2 in the past. Never got close to the original battery. Thought was my phone. Charges never lasted long. Almost got rid of phone but decided to try better branded battery (Energizer). This works great. Stick with branded name.

Comments about RadioShack 3.6V/850mAh Ni-Cd Battery:

I thought it was also a bad batch of batteries. Not the case this is my third set and last only 6 months or less. I am going to try the Panasonic brand and see if that one is any better.

Wish I'd read all these reviews before I bought a new phone yesterday. I thought the Panasonic phone had malfunctioned - frying the battery and reducing use time. Now I know it was the battery I bought less than 6 months ago. Useless - DO NOT BUY!

By Sam J from Pittsfield, MA on 9/13/2006

Comments about RadioShack 3.6V/850mAh Ni-Cd Battery:

Learned the hard way that Ni-Cd batteries shouldn't be left on the charger when it doesn't need it. They can be damaged and lose charge rapidly if you do. To revive it I left it out of the phone for several weeks until it was dead then charged it overnight. Now I only charge it when needed and it works great.

Pros:

Comments about RadioShack 3.6V/850mAh Ni-Cd Battery:

By DWIGHT J from FORT WAYNE, IN on 7/13/2006

Comments about RadioShack 3.6V/850mAh Ni-Cd Battery:

I purchased the 3.6V/850mAh Ni-Cd battery about 6 months ago. It powered the phone for about 2 weeks at full power. After the 2 wks the phone would die after about 90 min of use. 90 days later the phone will come off the charger work for 5 min and flash ?recharge battery?. The second phone of the pair still has its? original battery. If I had checked the reviews I would have been aware of this batteries lack of performance. I would not recommend this battery

By Kathryn O from Fairfield Ohio on 6/25/2006

Comments about RadioShack 3.6V/850mAh Ni-Cd Battery:

I purchased the 3.6V/850mAh Ni-Cd battery about 12 months ago. It held a charge for several weeks, but then started to die after using the phone for a couple hours. My former Panasonic battery lasted the entire day without needing to be charged. It didn't die for over a year. I also bought one for another phone which is dying after only 6 months.I would not recommend this battery.
