Home Theatre 24 sells AT&T branded batteries! Some of the other vendors do not! The battery offered here is available from mulitple vendors each selling a slightly different version. Some vendors sell a very inexpensive off market battery that some reviewers have complained about. After reading Zymurgy's review (see below) I decided to follow his lead and purchase this battery from Home Theatre 24, a third party vendor that can only be found by clicking on the "Other Buying Choices" box. Home Theatre 24 is about the 5 choice down so keep on looking until you find them. Their battery costs more than most of the other choices but shipping is free so the price comes out about the same. Most importantly, the battery is an AT&T branded product. It arrived within two days and fit my phone system AT&T TL76108 5.8GHz TWO-LINE Digital Corded/Cordless Answering System (Titanium and Metallic Charcoal) perfectly. Very happy with the product!

Do not buy if the seller is eBatteries. I thought I was buying two AT&T brand batteries, but instead, eBatteries sent me two off-brand (Empire), Made-in-China, knock-offs. This is a typical bait-and-switch tactic. Very disappointed with the purchase. It's not worth the hassle for me to return these batteries for a refund. Hopefully, you don't make this mistake that I did.

Second time I've bought these batteries. This time for the rest of the phones in the house. Wasn't sure about their reliability, but now know this is definitely a winner. Direct fit, and my phones work out in the yard. TY. Sure beats buying a $40 OEM battery.

/received the battery timely, vendor did ship well, and, of course, the battery works and does what batteries do. The low rating on this is because it was NOT the same AT&T battery that ships with the handset and full system sets.

Maybe it was better. It was a Panasonic, but the point here is that if a "similar" item is being shipped, one should be made aware of that and not shown a picture of the original item.

Had this battery for about three months now and it works great. No problems with charging and works for a very long time. This is not the OEM battery, but works well! I bought two, and these are giving me no problems at the moment.

I purchased from Amazon, and it came from eBatteries. The description is "AT&T 00249 Model 103 Battery for EP5962 Phone System Handsets", but what was shipped was an Empire Panasonic Replacement Phone Battery - CPH-490. From a bit of quick research (after the fact), the same battery used for a variety of phones - just type in CPH-490 into the Amazon search and see batteries for Vtech, Panasonic, Uniden and AT&T phones.

That said, the battery is working just fine for me. It took a charge overnight, and kept the AT&T EP5632 base unit operational when the power went out. Lastly, the shipping was very fast, and the price was reasonable. If I were doing it over again, I would definitely buy it again - but I would hope that eBatteries would correct the description and be more forthcoming about what you are purchasing.

I ordered these from Home Theatre 24 and they shipped actual AT&T brand batteries in original packaging. Their shipping was quick and their package provided good protection of contents. Price with shipping was as good as any of the other vendors. Highly recommended.

Update: One of the batteries was DOA (Dead on Arrival) and would not take a charge. I notified Home Theatre 24 and they immediately shipped out a replacement and I do not need to send back the defective battery. EXCELLENT customer service!

This is kind of a hard-to-find battery. When we need something like this we always go to Amazon!

hey, they are batteries. the price was better than direct from at&t and delivery was very quick. no problems - as expected.

the servuce was fast and the battery is just what I ordered. happy with product and the service, thanks!
