Ahh, I had a set of Philips ONIS phones which drove me up the wall.

Batteries were charging OK, batteries were OK but still the ruddy things reported low battery all the time and had dreadful battery life. >:(

A mate of mine had a set with precisely the same problem. The cynic in me was wondering if they have a "built in obsolescence" feature in the firmware to ensure you buy another set after a few years. >:(

My original batteries were rubbish, swapped them for some 2100's and never looked back.

My BRAND-NEW BT 4 phone kit came with chinese made rechargeable batteries that only lasted a week before they wouldn't hold their charge anymore, the BT shop gave me some panasonic ones when I complained, and no probs so far............................

I think these had developed an issue with the low battery detection. They just shut down after a couple of minutes in a call regardless of battery state. Anyway, I have proper phones connected to the wall with wires now, and I'm happier for it.  ;)
