RE: Batteries for DECT phones

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Check on eBay for batts too, they're always cheaper on there..I just
bought
8 Fuji NiMH for =A36 all-in, for our selection of Dect phones that all die
after 5 mins of chat.

Phil, Jon, thanks :)

I'll be getting a set of "regular" NiMH's to replace the existing

I may just the the old ones a blast in my charger, might give me a bit more

Cheers,

Tim.
