Should i get new batteries or buy a new phone system? Mine is 8 years old.

I bought the battery because I did not want to play the price of new phone system that had the same quality and features as original. My Phone/battery was also about 8 years old. Battery replacement is still working fine after 6 months. The original worked until I had to replace it.

I had the Uniden 4 phone system for 6 or 8 years and only needed one battery but when I found I could replace all of them for less than $20 (including shipping) on Amazon, that's what I did. The big store price is about $10 ea.

Wow 8yrs old seem 2b the norm?? The batteries my phones came with lasted 8yrs also. I did buy a new Uniden program phone, but the letters and numbers were a lite grey color. I couldn't see those from across the room let alone right next to it!! The phones went back to the store. At that time I decided to get new battery's. Amazon was the cheapest place i found. The batteres work great and keep their charge. Best of all I can see those BLACK numbers and letters on the screen from across the room that my old phone provides. Yipee!!!

I've had my Uniden phones for over 8 years, and they work fine. Just need batteries.

i had similar problem. my batteries were old and no longer held a charge. i ordered and received the new batteries for all 3 of my unidens, via http://amazon.com, i believe last year and they work great. replacement batteries could save you money, its up to the user to decide.

How many phones are on your account? If you have a lot, are there any that you hardly ever use? You can swap batteries or just buy new ones for frequently used phones. Check prices for a new system - it may be cheaper to buy all new system if you have many phones and all have batteries that run down too quickly. But I figured it is so much of a hassle to learn and program new phones, that I would stick to old one and just buy a few batteries.

Well, if the phone doesn't have any problems, and it is just a power/battery issue then replacing the battery with a new one will probably help.

I just bot new batteries from radio shack but they were $37. If you check on Amazon you can buy 2 new phones for the price of the batteries and if you check around you can by 3 phone system for $45. Hope this helps. Pete from Monticello,mn

It may simply be that your battery is bad and you need a new one. If you've a plan, I'd talk to your AT & T plan supervisor.

Unforunately I'm finding it's cheaper to buy a new trimmer that comes with 2 batteries than to actually buy just 2 new batteries! Time to consider going to a different brand, or maybe back to my gas trimmer -- if I can get it to start after sitting idle 2 years...

I have had a lot if issues with ours and it is less than a year old. They have traded us parts to replace things. I am sure if you go through their website they will allow you to buy a new handset. I will say their customer service is horrible if you try call, it is better if you go through their website. Good luck.

I have the same problem with a 4 phone system (KX-TGA931T). Shopping for new ones too.

Hmmmm...ticking sound? any enemies stopped over lately? Actually, switch the battery from one of your other phones to to this one to see if this phone starts to work. If it fixes the problem, then your batteries are dying out and should be replaced. Otherwise, some liquid got into the phone and fried the circuits.

Have had 3 of these phones over 8 years.Have dropped them from bleachers & other various mishaps & they kept on working.Using an old one my daughter gave to me & did have the battery problem(shutting down) but with only one of my batteries otherwise it works fine.Have Verizon for a provider but have never purchased a phone from them.

Hi there, I think Wahoo says the battery should be good for at least one year so you may have a defective battery (or old stock). The batteries can be replaced easily you just need to follow the instructions supplied with the kit for replacing the battery with a new one. I had the same problem and that cured it. It is a slightly unusual battery size from memory (CR 2050?) check the specs and good luck. I don't think Wahoo warranty covers batteries :-(

I bought a new battery at Radio Shack. Unfortunatley they're around $20. These phones are terrible.

I purchased new batteries (2 as they were so inexpensive & I plan to keep my phone for a while) after owning my phone for about 16-18 months. The original battery was lasting only half a day. I use my phone primarily for checking e-mails & some calls, very little online time. The new battery lasts all day or close to it with my usage. I would guess - as another reviewer posted - that you might get 4 hours of internet use. Buy a couple & switch them out. BTW... batteries losing the ability to stay charged is normal for any rechargeable battery, not just the HTC or other smart phones. Another option is buying the double size battery. Just a thought.

You didn't say what kind of 'new' battery. I learned long ago, get lithium batteries. Cost more, but less aggrevation. Also, perhaps if recently wet, there's moisture in battery area.

did you check that the batteries are in right? Maybe it's a defective one? If you recently got it, you could get a new one

It might help to clean the contacts on the battery with a clean pencil eraser first. And the contacts on the remote, if they canbe easily reached. (Got an 880, so just a guess) Update the firmware, too, then if that persists a new battery might be the thing to do.
