Re: how to remove the charge built up in my cordless telephone batteries?

Question

The answers given thus far will not work [leaving the telephone on for an extended period of time]. This is a Panasonic Gigarange Extreme and leaving the telephone in the "on" position results in the phone automatically shutting off. Help!!!!!!! I need another solution to getting these batteries free of all that built up charge.

Answer 1

"All that built up charge"??? When you charge a battery, they tend to hold that charge till you drain them. What do you plan to do with a dead one? What ever, just remove the battery, and if nothing else, "short" a light bulb (two wires on it) across the battery terminals. The bulb will light and become a variable resistance across the battery, discharging it in a controlled fashion.

Answer 2

Unplug the Base from electric power, leave phone turned on,
unplug phone line.

Answer 3

So why not just talk till its dead? Better yet keep it in your car that way no one else can put it back on the base either.
