    Dig out the manual for the phone or check online for the manual.

    If they do not hold their charge for an amount of time that you think is reasonable when compared to their performance when new.

    If the time they stay charged (under identical conditions) changes... maybe there's a problem with the re-charging process. Are the metal contacts on the handset and base station clean, and does the phone indicate that it is recharging every time you place it on the base station?
  • How old is the phone, the batteries deteriorate with age and usually go downhill fast at about 5 years.

    Luckily, most home phone rechargeable packs are cheap to replace - if you're feeling adventurous you can do it yourself most times.

    Just take the back off the phone and replace them.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
