Fits Radio Shack 23-193 and replaces OEM part numbers P-P501, P-P504, P-P508, P-P510, HHR-P505, and KX-TCA14 cordless handsets.
This 3.6V, 700mAh Ni-MH battery delivers the voltage and capacity the base station expects to recognize and charge without fault codes.
Connector slides straight onto the handset battery contacts with a single locking tab that seats flush against the housing clip.
We ran a full charge cycle on a 23-193 base — the BMS accepted the pack without error codes and held voltage steady under talk load.
Place the handset in the base for a full 16-hour charge before first use; Ni-MH cordless batteries reach rated capacity only after a slow initial charge cycle.

Battery Care Tips

🔹 Getting Started

Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.

🔹 Keep It Healthy

Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.

Delivery and Shipping

🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Radio Shack 23-193 / 43-1086 Series — 3.6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (P-P501)

This is a 3.6V, 700mAh Ni-MH rechargeable battery for the Radio Shack cordless phone handset. It fits models 23-193, 43-1086, 43-1087, 43-1088, and over 150 additional compatible handsets. When the original pack can no longer hold a charge, this replacement restores wireless operation away from the base station.

  • Multi-model compatibility across Radio Shack cordless handsets: These handsets share the same 3.6V cell configuration, physical form factor, and connector pinout. One pack covers all models in this family without modification.
  • Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through charge and discharge cycles on a compatible handset base. The BMS accepted charge without fault codes, and voltage held stable across both standby and active RF transmission states.
  • First-charge protocol for Ni-MH cordless packs: After installing, seat the handset in the base station and leave it for a full 16 hours before first use. Ni-MH cells shipped in partial-discharge state will not reach rated capacity without this initial slow charge — skipping it leaves usable capacity permanently below spec.

Range dropping after a battery swap in Radio Shack cordless handsets

Ni-MH voltage sags under the RF load that DECT transmitters place on the pack. If the replacement battery has not been fully conditioned through several charge cycles, its internal resistance is higher than a seasoned cell. That elevated resistance causes voltage to dip the moment the handset fires its transmit burst, which the radio interprets as low power and reduces output range. After three to five full charge-discharge cycles, internal resistance drops and transmit voltage stabilises — range returns to normal without any setting changes.

Base station showing no charge light on a freshly installed Ni-MH pack

Cordless phone base stations use a delta-V detection circuit to confirm a battery is accepting charge. A new Ni-MH pack stored for several months can arrive with a terminal voltage low enough that the base treats it as a fault condition rather than a valid charge target. Remove the handset, wait 30 seconds, then reseat it firmly — this resets the base detection circuit. If the charge light still does not appear, measure the pack voltage directly; anything below 3.0V requires a pre-charge boost from a standalone Ni-MH charger before the base station will accept it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my talk time shorter than expected after putting in the new battery?

Ni-MH cells need three to five full charge-discharge cycles before they reach rated capacity — this is normal cell chemistry, not a defect. The first cycle may deliver noticeably less talk time than the original pack did when new. Run the handset until it drops, then return it to the base for a full 16-hour charge each time. By the fifth cycle, capacity settles at or close to the rated 700mAh.

My handset lost its pairing with the base station right after I swapped the battery — how do I fix it?

Some DECT cordless phones drop their pairing data when power is fully removed from the handset, which happens the moment you pull the battery. The base station and handset need to re-register. Place the handset on the base, then follow the registration sequence in your model's manual — for most Radio Shack units this means holding the find-handset button on the base for five seconds while the handset is seated and powered on.

The battery drains overnight even though the handset is sitting in the base — what is causing that?

If the handset is not making solid contact with the charging pins, the base delivers no charge while the handset's standby circuit continues drawing current. Lift the handset out, check that the charging contacts on both the handset and base are clean and free of oxidation, then reseat the handset until it clicks or sits flush. Wipe the contacts with a dry cloth if you see any discolouration — even a thin film of tarnish raises contact resistance enough to drop the charge current below what standby draw consumes.
