Fancy that, that is what it must have been, but what I don't understand is why did the handset face showed the batteries were almost fully charged?
Because the battery terminals were dirty!

Re: My Landline

JBR could be right. I've had batteries in a handset that are OK but not contacting all that well, so causing the phone to stop working. Had the same with television remote control batteries too.

It could be decided by putting the original batteries back to see if they work or not. Might save throwing away some good rechargeable batteries.

Re: My Landline

Hope you put the correct batteries in. The rechargeable type, not standard batteries.

Yes dear, I am sure they are rechargeable, but I will double check. Thank you.

What would happen if they were ordinary ones then?

Would they really blow up JBR?

I've just had a look and they are "Duracell Recharge" so I think they will be OK.
Thank you.
