Re: Need to replace Nicad Battery on Southwestern Bell cordless GH5850

The original Nicad replacement is probably not available. You
should be able to find a Nickel Metal Hydride battery with the
same connector and comparable specs. Your old charger should work
ok, but may not detect the battery charge condition correctly.

A NiCd charger is a very bad choice for charging a NiMH battery; their
requirements are very different. It may seem to work, but the NiMH will
probably have a much reduced lifetime.
