It slots directly into the handset to restore power when the original cell can no longer hold a charge. Voltage and capacity match the original specification exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e23-954 and 960-1371 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both handsets share the same 2.4V Ni-MH cell footprint, connector orientation, and charge circuit. The base station charges at a trickle rate tuned to this voltage window, so swapping in the wrong chemistry or voltage disrupts the charge cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through the 23-954 base station and confirmed the charge circuit accepted the cell without error. The BMS on these handsets monitors delta-V termination, and this cell triggered correct cutoff after a full charge cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst charge on NiMH cordless 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 are shipped in a partially discharged state — a slow initial charge is what brings the pack up to its rated 300mAh capacity.\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 light after fitting a new NiMH pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNiMH cells that have sat in storage can drop below 2.0V per pack — low enough that the base station's charge controller doesn't recognise a valid battery. The base uses a voltage threshold check before initiating the charge cycle. A cell sitting below that threshold gets ignored entirely, and the charge indicator stays off. Leave the handset seated in the base for 30 minutes anyway; most Radio Shack base stations will trickle at a low pre-charge rate until the pack climbs above the acceptance voltage, typically 2.2V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eTalk time shorter than expected for the first few uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNew Ni-MH cells don't deliver full rated capacity on the first discharge — the crystalline structure in the electrode needs several cycles to fully activate. On the 23-954, expect noticeably shorter talk time for the first three to five full charge-discharge cycles before capacity stabilises near 300mAh. Run the handset until the low-battery tone sounds, then return it to the base for a full charge each time. By cycle five, talk time should reach its rated level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43340072255578,"sku":"BWCS-BPT21CL-1","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43340072288346,"sku":"BWCS-BPT21CL-2","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43340072321114,"sku":"BWCS-BPT21CL-3","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-BPT21CL-1.webp?v=1778367024","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/radio-shack-23-954-replacement-battery-24v-300mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
