Got quick, fitted perfectly. If it exceeded expectations then a five star rating would of been given
I have no opinion as to whether they last longer or whether they die more gracefully, but I doubt it. (As of this writing, these happen to be 20% more expensive).
Most of the complaints those two units get ("base not found" & "sudden static/call-drop") boil down to dying batteries. I don't know whether they are actually crummy batteries, or if there's a bad charging circuit design, or they simply don't show as discharged in the on-screen indicator.
This battery also works in VTech i5808 phones and the i5871 base station. They're both 3.6V, 800mAh, NiMH.
Whatever, I decided not to buy the VTech replacement (perennially "unavailable" from their website anyway). and chose this Energizer equivalent.
They worked fine in my phones. Heck, they're probably all made in the same factory.
With so many similar part numbers for AT&T and Vtech phones, it's difficult to be sure you have the right battery. Finally found this is the right one for my EP-590 phone. This battery does last longer than the oem that came with the phone. Similar batteries are 1/3 the price though, so this seems a bit overpriced.
I hate vTech - the batteries that they ship with their phones die too quiuckly.so far so good with the Energizer version.
