Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was happy to replace the NiCad battery (as originally supplied in my Uniden EZI-996) with NiMH instead, but was worried that the charger wasn't designed for NiMH chemistry. Happy to report it works fine; battery shows no signs of overheating (which is the concern when using a NiCad charger on NiMH batteries). Talk-time more than doubled with the higher capacity NiMH battery. However it will take longer for battery to reach initial full-charge, given the higher battery capacity and the trickle charger in the phone. Not sure if charger has a timer cutoff or not. If so, phone may need to be reseated in cradle to initiate a new cycle, to top-off battery (as it may not reach a full charge on a single timer-cycle). In practice, i don't worry about this, and the battery seems to charge just fine. But i tend to make short calls, and keep the phone in its charger when not in-use. YMMV. If you don't get full talk-time from the new battery, it may be your phone isn't charging the battery to full capacity, and timer-cycle cutoff could be the reason why.
Battery had no markings, so i used a felt pen to mark it with spec's for the next time i need a battery replacement. I've seen this kind of generic marking before (from a local electronics store), and perhaps this is what prompted one reviewer to think the battery was used? From all appearances, this is a new battery.
I was worried that some reviewers had indicated it did not fit their BT-905 compatible phones. The battery fit fine in my Uniden EZI-996 phone. However i did notice the shrink-wrap wrapped the cable a little bit around the corner of the battery, unlike my original NiCad BT-905 battery, creating a different exit angle for the cable. That could affect the fit inside the battery compartment. In my case, it didn't cause the cover to bulge; had it, i was prepared to cut the green shrink-wrap back a bit so the cable could exit like it did from the old battery pack. [FWIW: The cells themselves didn't appear any larger (e.g. diameter) than the NiCads in the original battery, but i didn't use a micrometer to verify this (as the battery fit my phone just fine). Strictly a visual impression.]
I am happy with this battery. Have been using it for about six weeks now. Only gave it four stars because of the total lack of markings, and cable egress issue. It should have (at a minimum) battery chemistry and capacity marked on it. This will aid in future battery replacements, and chemistry markings may be helpful to recyclers. (It's possible this info is on the cells themselves, hidden under the shrink-wrap.)
