Loycom C200 Cordless Phone Compatible Battery 3.6V 1200mAh

Loycom C200 — 3.6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery

This is a 3.6V, 1200mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Loycom C200 cordless phone handset. It slots into the handset battery compartment and restores talk time and standby capacity lost from a degraded original pack. Dimensions are 56.32 x 42.96 x 20.38mm — confirm against your existing cell before fitting.

• C200 handset compatibility: The C200 handset runs a single-cell 3.6V Ni-MH configuration. This pack matches that voltage rail and physical footprint. No adapter or wiring change is needed.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through charge and discharge on a Ni-MH compatible test rig. The cell accepted a full charge, held voltage under simulated RF transmit load, and the BMS did not trip during draw spikes.
• First charge on cordless Ni-MH packs: Place the handset in the base cradle for a full 16 hours before first use. Ni-MH cells shipped from storage sit below rated capacity — a slow initial charge through the base's trickle circuit is how the pack reaches its 1200mAh rating.

Base station showing no charge or error light after fitting a new pack

Ni-MH cells lose voltage during storage. A pack sitting in a warehouse for several months may arrive at 2.8V or lower. Some cordless base stations read that voltage and refuse to begin charging, showing an error light or no charge indicator at all. This is not a fault with the base or the battery — it is the base's acceptance threshold rejecting a deeply discharged cell. Place the handset in the base and leave it undisturbed. Most bases will begin a recovery trickle charge within 30 minutes once they detect the cell is accepting current. If the error persists after two hours, remove the handset, wait 60 seconds, and reseat it to trigger a fresh detection cycle.

Range drops noticeably after battery swap

Reduced range after fitting a new Ni-MH pack is almost always a voltage sag issue, not a DECT antenna problem. When a fresh Ni-MH cell has not completed its first conditioning cycles, internal resistance is higher than rated. Under RF transmit load the voltage dips, and the handset's transmit power drops with it. After three to five full charge-discharge cycles the internal resistance falls and voltage holds steadier under load. If range is still short after five cycles, check the handset is seating fully in the base — a partial connection forces the base to trickle charge rather than deliver the full charge current the pack needs.
