Buying a battery for a phone shouldn't be as difficult as it is. I have an AT&T model EP5995 cordless phone AT&T EP5995 - 5.8GHz Expandable Cordless Answering System with Dial-In-Base Speakerphone that is just a couple years old (or maybe 3 years?) and the AT&T battery website doesn't even list it anymore. I also looked in all the local stores that would typically carry phone batteries but none of them had the right one. And if they ordered one it would cost a gazillion dollars. (Well, maybe not exactly a gazillion, but enough to pay for a really nice lunch or a not-too-shabby light dinner.) The battery itself doesn't have much information either, just the "Energizer Er-P507". The description here says it's for a Panasonic, so I wasn't sure at first if it was the right one for my AT&T phone. A lot of the pictures of batteries look the same and I already ordered one that wasn't right and butchered the packaging enough that I'm embarrassed to try and send it back. (Why do they make those battery packages people and gorilla proof?)

Anyway, I finally ordered this battery and once it arrived here I saw that it's identical to the one I have that worked fine for a year or more of heavy use before it finally wouldn't hold a charge for longer than 10 minutes. I wish I would have made a note of when I bought the last one. I use the battery in a business phone and I'm on the phone for a good part of the day. I also often forget to put it back in the cradle to recharge.

It was nice to find a battery with Amazon Prime shipping because the old battery was gasping it's last breaths and I actually had to curtail some conversations to make it last. (Either that or find an old phone to hook up that wouldn't have an answering machine and which was way too much trouble to even think of finding in the "dead or discarded electronics" closet.) So this battery arrived in two days, thanks to Prime shipping, and the package was easier to open than the last one. I should be back in business in 24 hours when this new battery gets a full charge on it.

This battery also works in VTech i5808 phones and the i5871 base station. Most of the complaints those two units get ("base not found" & "sudden static/call-drop") boil down to dying batteries. I don't know whether they are actually crummy batteries, or if there's a bad charging circuit design, or they simply don't show as discharged in the on-screen indicator. Whatever, I decided not to buy the VTech replacement (perennially "unavailable" from their website anyway!) and chose this Energizer equivalent. They're both 3.6V, 800mAh, NiMH. (As of this writing, these happen to be 20% more expensive.) They worked fine in my phones. I have no opinion as to whether they last longer or whether they die more gracefully, but I doubt it. Heck, they're probably all made in the same factory...

I have an AT&T EP5962 cordless phone with the EP590-2 (EP5902) handset. The genuine AT&T batteries are genuine crap, and the cheap aftermarket batteries aren't much better. Finding a good, COMPATIBLE replacement battery was next-to impossible and my first purchase ended up to be the wrong size battery.

I decided to go for a brand name and gamble that this battery would fit. IT WORKS!!! I had a call last about an hour and the cute little battery meter on the handset still registered about 80%

Thank You, Energizer!

With so many similar part numbers for AT&T and Vtech phones, it's difficult to be sure you have the right battery. Finally found this is the right one for my EP-590 phone.

This battery does last longer than the oem that came with the phone. Similar batteries are 1/3 the price though, so this seems a bit overpriced.

It's always a problem finding batteries for the Panasonic TGA handsets. I've ordered a lot of batteries over the years. Some work for a long time, some for a short time. These don't fit. They are too large by just enough that the cover of the battery compartment will not close when they are installed. Buying this product will waste your time and test your patience. Making this right would have been so easy; why don't they care?

Our four AT&T cordless phones were exhibiting two problems: distortion and dropouts, and short battery life. These batteries fixed both problems.

Product worked as expected. I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a replacement battery for their Panasonic cordless phone.

I hate vTech - the batteries that they ship with their phones die too quiuckly...so far so good with the Energizer version.

My mom has used the same cordless house phone for several years now and the old batteries just couldn't hold a charge anymore. The phone would die after 30 minutes of talk time, some times the handset wouldn't have a connection to the base station, even though you were standing right in front of it.

Mom refused to buy a new phone because the ones on the market now are just too small. A house phone should feel like a house phone, not a cell phone. I bought two of these batteries and every problem has been resolved. Phones don't die and the reception/distance is much better (understandable since the old batteries couldn't provide enough juice to cover the distance).

Mom's happy, kids are happy, what more could you ask for? The price seemed a little high for a phone that's almost 10 years old, but it's a small price to pay for a mother's happiness.

Don't know what Panasonic is using in its current cordless phones, but this battery was listed as a replacement for our 10-15 year old Panasonics whose batteries finally needed replacing. They work as good as new now.
