I’ve had a great home office phone these last 2 years… a 2.4 gig Siemens.
It was great for the first 5 or 6 years.
This weekend the batteries finally died.
I went to Wal Mart but then I found… the batteries were Nickel Cadmium.
Not a battery like that in sight!
For that matter, not even a phone like mine (from Siemens) in sight!
My choice was to either buy a new phone that had batteries I knew would work ($29) or buy batteries that might work but who knew and then risk buying a new phone anyway? ($10 to $39)
1. Check your batteries now and have some replacements in place.
2. If buying a new phone, make sure that the batteries it uses seem to be in stock and common instead of what I bought! (They looked like AA batteries so I assumed replacements would be handy!)

Good thing if you have product knowledge on the item you’re purchasing.. Better be sure than sorry, I agree.. Make sure the spare parts were in the market and will stay constant, cause in due time, you’ll not gonna problem it.
