it last as long as possible. The charge capacity of the
rechargeable battery will reduce with time as it wears
out, giving the handset less talk / standby time.
Eventually it will need to be replaced. A replacement
battery can be obtained by contacting TecHelp on
1300 369 193 or from your local electrical retailer.

After charging your handset for the first time,

subsequent charging time is about 6–8 hours a day. The
battery and handset may become warm during charging,
however, this is normal.
