battery replacement

Hi
I have a Calypso phone (BT) with two AA sized but rechargeable batteries (NiMH). The phone has gone 'funny' and I think it's the batteries but I have to phone an 0870 number to get replacements...
Anyone know who/where else might sell these batteries?

Try HERE.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -
Thanks both - I only want 2!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

You're only likely to get a set of 2 if they come with a charger which will cost more than a set of 4 (will still be much cheaper than getting replacements from BT).0

s'okay - I will buy the 4 - just that there are packs of 12 on e bay!
I am so tight I won't even phone BT cos it's an 0870 number LOLDon't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Don't blame you for that - bit of a cheek to have an 0870 when you're buying stuff (normally 0800 for buying, 0870 for complaints...).
Lots of other stuff will use 2 AAs - TV/HiFi remotes, portable radios, digital cameras - handy pressies! (or use them in your own remotes after charging them in the phone).0 -

I need 750 MAH batteries and they seem to have been discontinued!
So - to reiterate AAA NiMH 750 MAH....
could I use 800MAH?
am concerned because the phone lives on a charging unit - or should I just get a new answerphone? (and this one's not THAT old! - mind you it was reduced when I bought it so probably discontinued then)Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

The 800s will be ok - I replaced 650s with 750s in one of mine a couple of years ago. Important bit is that they are both NiMH (some older phones used NiCad) and the news ones aren't massively higher capacity.0
