Alcatel 4068 Replacement Battery 1.2V 2000mAh Ni-MH

Alcatel Bluetooth 4068 / 4068IP Touch Series — 1.2V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (ALT3GV28041AB)

This is a 1.2V, 2000mAh Ni-MH battery for the Alcatel Bluetooth 4068, 4068IP Touch, 4068 IP, and 8068 BT cordless handsets. It replaces OEM part numbers ALT3GV28041AB, 3GV28041AB, and 3MG27109AA. If your handset no longer holds a charge through a typical workday, this pack restores it to factory power levels.

• 4068 and 8068 BT handset compatibility: These models share the same battery bay dimensions (49.60 × 16.36 × 14.40mm), connector pinout, and 1.2V NiMH chemistry — the base station's charge controller does not distinguish between them, so one pack covers the full series.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack on a 4068IP Touch base station and confirmed the charge circuit accepted the battery without fault, the NiMH charge termination triggered correctly at peak delta-V, and resting voltage stabilised at 1.35V after a full cycle.
• First-charge protocol for NiMH cordless packs: After installing, seat the handset in the base for a continuous 16-hour charge before first use. NiMH cells at low storage voltage need a slow first charge to reach rated 2000mAh capacity — skipping this is the leading cause of short talk time complaints in the first week.

Base station charge light not activating on a new NiMH pack

Alcatel DECT base stations use a delta-V detection circuit to confirm a valid NiMH cell is seated. If the battery has been in storage for several months, its resting voltage can drop below the threshold the base uses to begin charging — the charge LED stays off and no current flows. The fix is to apply a brief trickle charge from an external AAA NiMH charger for 20–30 minutes to raise the cell above roughly 1.0V. Once the base detects a valid voltage, it takes over and completes the charge normally.

Handset loses DECT pairing after battery replacement

Removing the battery from a 4068-series handset cuts power to the volatile memory that stores the DECT subscription link. When the new pack goes in, the handset may power on but fail to register with the base, showing no line or a searching icon. Re-register the handset using the base station's paging or registration button — on most Alcatel 4068 bases this means holding the button for five seconds until the LED flashes. The handset then re-subscribes and the line restores within 60 seconds.
