Alcatel 3BN67332AA Cordless Phone Compatible Battery 3.7V 1200mAh

Alcatel 8232 DECT Series — 3.7V Li-ion Replacement Battery (3BN67332AA)

This 3.7V, 1200mAh Li-ion battery replaces the original pack in Alcatel cordless DECT handsets including the 8232, 8232 DECT, and 8232S DECT. It slots into the handset's battery bay and restores power to units where the original cell no longer holds adequate charge. OEM part numbers 3BN67332AA, 10000058, and RTR001F01 all cross-reference this pack.

• 8232 series compatibility: These handsets share the same 3.7V single-cell Li-ion architecture, physical footprint (53.20 × 34.00 × 5.70mm), and connector pinout. The BMS handshake is identical across the 8232, 8232 DECT, and 8232S DECT variants, so one cell fits all.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack on an 8232 DECT handset, confirming the BMS accepted charge from the base station immediately and that the protection circuit tripped correctly at the low-voltage cutoff threshold without triggering a false fault.
• First-charge protocol for DECT handsets: After fitting, seat the handset in the base and leave it for a full 16 hours before first use. Li-ion cells shipped at partial state of charge need one slow, uninterrupted charge cycle to reach rated capacity in this handset's charging circuit.

Why the 8232 DECT loses range after a battery swap

DECT RF transmission draws a sharp current spike each time the handset communicates with the base station. A battery at low state of charge — or one that hasn't completed its first full cycle — shows elevated internal resistance, causing voltage to sag under that RF load. The handset's transmit power drops proportionally, which shortens effective range. After two or three full charge cycles, internal resistance stabilises and range returns to normal.

Handset not pairing with base after battery replacement

Removing the battery on some DECT handsets wipes the pairing memory stored in volatile RAM — the 8232 series is among them. When power is fully cut, the handset loses its registered base station identity. Re-pairing is straightforward: press and hold the registration button on the base until the LED flashes, then initiate pairing from the handset's menu. The process takes under two minutes and does not require a factory reset of the base.
