I have your basic cordless, I noticed they are putting larger batteries in these things, in fact it has 3 AA batteries. So, the phone is about a year old and now the talk time is about 30 minutes tops and the phone goes beep and the battery is dead, can't even say goodbye, junk.
Well, the three batteries together are rated at 600 mAh. I'm like forget that, and tired of replacing these costly little things. I made my own battery pack out of 900 mAh Ncad AA batteries for a total of 2700 mAh.
Fire hazard?, to many amps?, the phone works great. Took electronics in tech school but that was 23 years ago. Figured I'd ask how others handle dealing with cheap battery packs, and generally how crazy can you get regarding adding more amperage, what's overkill, dangerous, etc.
