Yes, what can you say about the batteries. The old came with the cordless phone from Panasonic batteries have after several years (I guess about 5 years) regular use for longer conversations (mostly speakerphones!) No longer provided the required capacity. With the new battery can be re-longer telephone calls without the caller having to that you just want to go short in the batteries phone report. Batteries do not last forever, or lose their capacity over time or by usage. Therefore I 5 of 5 stars.
