Cordless phone drains very quickly!!!

Solved

Hello, I recently changed the batteries in the handset of my Philips CD-440 cordless phone. It was working normally, but for the past few days, I can't talk for more than a few minutes. However, "when the batteries are fully charged, the talk time is about 12 hours," according to the manual. The batteries are brand new (about 45 days of use).

Can someone tell me if the problem could be with the base? It is properly plugged in.

Thank you for giving me an idea of what could be happening!!

The device is about two years old.

Thanks,

lb

Hello,

This problem is recurring for many users and across numerous Phillips models.

Look no further!
This is neither a battery issue nor a problem with the charging bases.

Some capacitors in the handsets age poorly and no longer store enough (reduction in capacity). The need for pulse current is very high, and the battery capacity cannot meet the immediate current demand.

Philips must know about the issue... in any case, it is identifiable by anyone with some basic knowledge and a tester...
It's a shame that the engineers at this brand don’t care about the customer and do not take the time to consider and seriously address the numerous complaints...

They therefore encourage us to buy "no name" products, cheaper and not worse!

I am boycotting Philips telephony...

I don't think this is specific to Philips because I'm having the same problem with my Gigaset Siemens C595 duo. The battery gauge is full and suddenly it drains, and this happens on both handsets. So it must be from the base. (fiddling with the batteries doesn't change anything).
I bought new batteries last year and I've just bought a power supply because it was dead.
Moreover, I read in this thread that some people use rechargeable batteries and I don't understand because it's the phone base itself that charges the battery, isn't it? Am I wrong? I think that if a charger was needed, my Siemens would have stopped working a long time ago.
If someone has a solution, it would be welcome because I really can't afford to buy a new phone.
