It fits the Freestyle 300, 500, 600, and 1000 handsets, all of which share the same C49AA3H battery format. Capacity figure comes directly from the product data — 7.2Wh total energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreestyle 300, 500, 600, and 1000 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These handsets run the same 3.6V single-cell NiMH architecture with an identical connector and cell footprint. The BMS on each model accepts the same charge profile from the base station cradle, so one battery specification covers the full range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran this pack through the BT Freestyle base charge cycle and confirmed the cell voltage acceptance threshold. The BMS initialised without error and the charge indicator activated normally on first dock.\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 need this slow initial charge to reach rated capacity — skipping it can leave you short of full talk time from day one.\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 expected after fitting this battery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNiMH cells in cordless phones do not deliver full rated capacity on the first charge cycle. The chemistry needs three to five full charge-discharge cycles before the cells reach their rated 2000mAh. Each cycle builds on the last, so talk time improves progressively over the first week of normal use. After five cycles, if talk time is still noticeably short, check that the handset is fully seated in the cradle — a loose connection cuts charge current significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBase station shows no charge light or error after battery swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eReplacement NiMH packs often arrive from storage at a low resting voltage — sometimes below the threshold the BT Freestyle base station requires before it starts a charge cycle. The base reads the pack as faulty and refuses to charge it. Remove the battery, leave it out for 60 seconds, then refit the handset firmly in the cradle. If the charge indicator still does not activate, the pack resting voltage may be too low — a short pulse from a compatible NiMH charger at 0.1C for 10 minutes is usually enough to bring it back above the 3.0V acceptance floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43339888885850,"sku":"BWCS-BTF300CL-1","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43339888918618,"sku":"BWCS-BTF300CL-2","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43339888951386,"sku":"BWCS-BTF300CL-3","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-BTF300CL-1.webp?v=1778366906","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/bt-freestyle-300-replacement-battery-36v-2000mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
