BATTERY PACKS FOR CORDLESS TELEPHONES

Is there anyplace @ Lakeside that sells battery packs for cordless telephones/VOIP? Any recommendations in GDL?

TIA Jim W

i haven't had much luck for the phones. when yvonne goes NOB, she gets them there. we have 2 sets and they both require difernt batteries.

I see then for sale at the Wednesday market in Ajijic.

Battery Master or Radio Shack

The electric supplies store across from OXXO in Ajijic.

tried them for our uniden phones. nada

Radio Shack Gran Plaza

Most "battery packs" for cordless phones are either 2 AA or AAA NiMh batteries.   You can get these locally and either have a local repair person solder them in, or do it yourself - about 10 min of work and you'll save 100 to 200 pesos, likely, plus the running around time looking for the custom pack.

The store that is a couple of doors east of the $store in Ajijic at the plaza. That is where we got ours. About $140p.

Yeah, that store across from Oxxo is now the one east of the Regalos Luz off the Ajijic Plaza.

Are these the rechargeable batteries? My understanding is most AA and AAA can't be recharged. Where do you buy the rechargeable ones?

At the place on the plaza where I told ya, we went and got one yesterday and the price has gone up a lot we paid $220p for a Panasonic.

Yes, NiMh = Nickel Metal Hydride, which is the rechargeable type used in most of these cordless phones. Not sure why they haven't gone to Li-Ion yet.....

 Expense, Problems with exposure to water, Problems with heat generation,   Ask Boeing they know. Most laptops are
Lithium Ion now. Bigger batteries are still problematic in some ways. I think they need a year or two to perfect the larger
array of LIion batteries. Some of the early lithium Ion batteries for cars were actually a large number of laptop batteries
wired together. What a wiring nightmare I wouldn't touch. Stick with NIMH for recharge capable batteries. They do have
LIion AA batteries but these are not rechargeable and expensive.

Jim W: You are close to Chapala. Try the Sony/panasonic store on Madero about 3 blocks up from the plaza on the east side

For Panasonic phone - Mine is a flat battery HHR P104, 3.6 v - 830 mAH

I've never heard of soldering them in? If it's dead, it's dead.

I'm sure she meant solder the lead onto the batteries, so it can be plugged into the jack in the battery compartment.

I have an extra HHR-P105 and an extra HHR - P104. Bought 2 many.....100 pesos each ordered on line. Your gain....  

PM if you need one.
