It fits the PM139BAT, PMP3905, PMP3950, and PMP3955 handset lines, along with two additional compatible models. When the original pack stops holding a charge, this unit restores the handset to full operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePM139BAT and PMP-series handsets:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These models share a 3.6V single-cell NiMH architecture with the same connector and physical footprint. The base station charges at a fixed voltage rail matched to this chemistry, so swapping in a Li-ion or different voltage pack will throw a charge error or damage the charging circuit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through charge and discharge on compatible hardware. The BMS accepted charge within expected NiMH voltage parameters, and cell voltage held stable above the 3.0V cutoff under simulated standby and talk load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-charge protocol for NiMH cordless handsets:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Place the handset in the base for a full 16-hour charge before first use. NiMH cells in cordless phones need a slow initial charge to distribute charge evenly across cells and reach rated 700mAh capacity — skipping this leaves the pack short of its full capacity from the start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBase station showing no charge or error light after battery swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNiMH batteries self-discharge during storage. If the cell voltage drops low enough, the base station's charge controller may not recognise a valid pack and will refuse to initiate a charge cycle. This is a voltage threshold issue, not a fault with the battery or base. Place the handset in the base and leave it undisturbed — most Phone Mate bases will trickle-charge a low pack until it climbs above the acceptance threshold, typically around 3.2V, at which point normal charging resumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eRange drops noticeably during calls after the battery swap\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eA fresh NiMH pack that hasn't completed its first few charge cycles will sag under the RF transmit load the handset draws during a call. Voltage sag reduces the power available to the radio module, which cuts transmit strength and shortens effective range. This isn't a defective battery — it's a conditioning issue specific to NiMH chemistry. Run three to five full charge-and-use cycles and the cell's internal resistance will drop, reducing sag and restoring full transmit power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43340013207642,"sku":"BWCS-CPB8011-1","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43340013240410,"sku":"BWCS-CPB8011-2","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43340013273178,"sku":"BWCS-CPB8011-3","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-CPB8011-1.webp?v=1778367024","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/phone-mate-pm139bat-replacement-battery-36v-700mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
