The batteries were purchased in March 2014 to replace the original battery of two wireless telephone handsets Medion MD 82877. The original batteries Ni-MH left after about 3 years of normal use noticeably capacity to and were therefore replaced by this VHBW-Ni-MH batteries.
Cheap replacement batteries, fit, plug compatible handsets operate like new, wonderful: first the joy was great!
But with the handsets with the inserted VHBW batteries only about 30 min Stand outside the charging shell after about 2 months was possible, after about 6 months only about 10 minutes and then, after about 1 year, show both handsets to charging status already on when you lift off your chargers with zero, with luck can be a short call exit even before the handset then switches off completely.
To be fair, I would note that we rarely use the handsets and therefore they stay mainly in the chargers, which probably represents not the best battery maintenance for Ni-MH batteries, but there are chargers with automatic charging and also the original batteries were subject to the same treatment and held at least 3 years without complaint.
Maybe I just caught a bad production series, a lot of good reviews allow the thoroughly suspect, but my trust in VHBW battery is gone and I'll probably ever more equip any of my devices with batteries of this manufacturer.
A star I am afraid to forgive, but zero star would really be justified if a product does not fulfill his destiny.
So I learn again: Who buys cheap, buys twice and thus produces more electrical preventable - a pity!
