Review on Ideal Replacement Battery for VTech BT18433/BT28433 Handsets: iMah BT184342/BT284342, Pack of 1 by Matt Chirila

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect battery replacement

My AT&T DECT 6.0 phone's second handset, which is many years old, has been breaking for over a year - the phone went off immediately when I pressed the speakerphone button. The audio coming out of the phone when listening to a conversation also got a little weird at times, with some strange noises. When this started the battery lasted a maximum of 30 minutes even though the phone was on the charger the whole time which wasn't really using it. Last week I was trying to answer a call and the phone's battery died. Well handset #1 installed in the base station still runs almost 4 hours so I wasn't thrilled to swap out the entire system and the third handset I bought direct from AT&T a couple of years ago never did right works, replacement was not feasible. Thought I'd try a new #2 phone battery if I could find one for a reasonable price. (Okay, so the prices for everyone are more reasonable now than they were 25 years ago when I got my first wireless device and spare batteries were $50 each.) I looked around the Revain and found what seemed great - an iMah Ryme Set. batteries. So I ordered them (and with Prime, I got them with free shipping in two days). I fully expected to put in a new battery and wait over 8 hours for it to charge. To my surprise, the battery was already charged! And it had enough power to power the speakerphone, allowing me to use that feature for the first time in years. To be thorough before writing this review I removed the still perfect battery from phone #1 and installed the remaining iMah Ryme. Bat. That would be great too. So the batteries are a good replacement for the previous ones I bought from another manufacturer. It looks like they were sent right away as I didn't receive them until 2 days later. Arriving already charged was a definite bonus.
