It fits the 36247, 36250, 42002, 42003, and over 98 additional Bell South models. When the original pack can no longer hold a charge, the handset loses all wireless range — this battery restores cordless operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-model fit across the Bell South cordless range:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These handsets share the same 3.6V NiMH cell format, connector orientation, and charge acceptance circuit. One pack covers the full listed range without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through the base station charge circuit on a 36247 handset. The BMS accepted charge without error, and the pack reached full voltage across three conditioning cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-charge protocol for NiMH handsets:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing, seat the handset in the base and leave it for a full 16 hours before first use. NiMH cells in cordless phones arrive in partial charge from storage — a slow first charge is what gets the pack to rated capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eTalk time shorter than original battery after replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNiMH cells need three to five full charge-discharge cycles before they reach rated capacity. A replacement pack fresh from storage will deliver noticeably shorter talk time in the first few uses — this is normal cell behaviour, not a fault. Each full cycle builds capacity until the cells stabilise near the 1200mAh rating. Run the handset until it needs charging, return it to the base for a full charge, and repeat for the first few cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBase station not charging after battery swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eIf the base shows no charge indicator or an error light after you install the new pack, the issue is usually NiMH voltage sitting below the base station's charge-acceptance threshold after extended storage. Most Bell South base stations expect to see at least 3.0V at the contacts before triggering the charge cycle. Remove the handset, wait 30 seconds, reseat it firmly, and check that both contacts on the battery and handset are clean and making full contact. If the indicator still does not light, use a multimeter to confirm battery terminal voltage above 3.0V before returning it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43340029558874,"sku":"BWCS-P502CL-1","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43340029591642,"sku":"BWCS-P502CL-2","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43340029624410,"sku":"BWCS-P502CL-3","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-P502CL_1.webp?v=1778367047","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/bell-south-36247-replacement-battery-36v-1200mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
