Posts Tagged ‘Last Resort’
Awhile back I bought a pair of cordless phones, complete with answering machine.
Cordless phone #1 sits on base #1 and cordless phone #2 sits on…you guessed it, base #2! Phone #2 you can answer calls on but, you can’t call out. It is more for internal usage.
Well, the last few times I have used phone #1 to call out, it has given me problems. I thought it had something to do with the batteries. So, I tried to switch the phones around to different bases. I re-assigned the phones and bases but, it is NOT working!
Everytime I go to dial out, I type in the number, hit the call button and then it says "set provider". What provider? If it is plugged into my phone line then it should already have a provider…or not?
Does anyone know what I am talking about? God, do I hope so!
Go figure that I lost the instruction manual to it as well and I found nothing about it on the internet.
You guys are my last resort before I chuck it out and buy a new one. Any ideas? Thanks!

5 Stars Great battery
This battery is more than I expected. It has a higher ammount of amp hours(2.4) than the original and lasts much longer.I am pleasantly surprised.
2 Stars Doesn’t hold a charge
I tried to take care of the batteries for two years, by not leaving them in the charger for more than it took to charge them up, just charging them up when I used them, not over-discharging them. But they both stopped holding a charge after less than two years. When they’re new the drill works great.
5 Stars NiCad MUCH stronger than original
Nearly bought a new lithium ion drill-driver/flashlight kit but saved about $180 to rejuvinate what I thought was a hopeless situation. 10 year old Milwaukee 3/8″ drill-driver works as well as when new…even better with the 2.4 Amp battery. Originals died because I let run on flashlight until dead thinking I was ‘exersising’ it for longevity…but learning too late that method will ruin the battery. I have used occasionaly for 11 years, and hated to part with excellently performing drill and good flashlight. I purchase this battery as a last resort; charges on the original charger and seems to last 4x longer than the original battery (1.8 Ah). Pricey but worth it!
5 Stars Great Product
Nice OEM battery at a good price. Holds a good charge and recharges fast. Fast shipping was a plus
