Polycom VVX D60 Replacement Battery 2.4V 850mAh

Polycom VVX D60 / VVX D230 — 2.4V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (2200-17828-001)

This is a 2.4V, 850mAh Ni-MH replacement battery for the Polycom VVX D60 and VVX D230 cordless DECT handsets. It replaces OEM part 2200-17828-001 and fits the slim battery bay on both handset models. Voltage, capacity, and connector match the original specification exactly.

• VVX D60 and D230 compatibility: Both handsets run on the same 2.4V two-cell Ni-MH pack with identical physical dimensions and connector pinout. One battery SKU covers both models because the DECT radio module, charging circuit, and BMS handshake are shared across the D-series platform.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this battery through the VVX D60 charging circuit and confirmed the BMS accepted the pack without error, completed a full charge cycle to 2.8V, and held standby without the base station flagging a fault light.
• First charge on a Ni-MH cordless handset: After installing, seat the handset in the base and leave it for a full 16 hours before first use. Ni-MH cells ship partially discharged from storage. A slow, uninterrupted first charge lets the cells reach rated capacity — skipping it means the first few cycles will feel short.

Base station showing no charge or error light after battery swap

Ni-MH packs lose voltage during storage. If a pack sits in a warehouse for several months, its resting voltage can drop below the threshold the VVX base station expects before initiating a charge cycle. The base sees an unexpected voltage and either shows an error light or simply does not begin charging. Placing the handset in the base for 30 minutes usually allows the charging circuit to detect the pack and start a trickle charge — after that, the full charge cycle kicks in normally.

Talk time shorter than the original battery after replacement

This is normal for the first three to five cycles with a fresh Ni-MH pack. New cells have not yet been through a full charge-discharge sequence, so they do not deliver their rated 850mAh on the first use. Each complete cycle conditions the cells and adds usable capacity. Run the handset to low battery and return it to the base for a full charge — repeat three to five times and talk time will reach the rated level.
