It fits the 23-968, 43-9024, 43-9025, 43-9026, 43-9030, and 43-9031 models. The pack slots into the handset battery compartment and restores full cordless operation once conditioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-model fit across the 43-9000 series:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These handsets share the same 3.6V three-cell Ni-MH format, connector pinout, and compartment dimensions — 54.16 × 31.92 × 11.17mm — so one pack covers the entire 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 on a 23-968 handset and confirmed the base station accepted the charge current without flagging an error light. The BMS on the base held the trickle charge correctly through a full conditioning cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-install charge protocol for NiMH handsets:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After fitting the new pack, seat the handset in the base and leave it for a full 16 hours before use. Ni-MH cells at storage voltage are often below the base station's acceptance threshold — a slow first charge brings all three cells into balance and unlocks 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 the original battery after replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNew Ni-MH cells ship in a partially discharged state and need three to five full charge-discharge cycles before they reach rated capacity. On cycle one, the handset may feel like it's performing worse than the old battery — that's normal. Each full cycle allows the cells to accept more charge. By cycle four or five, capacity stabilises at the rated 850mAh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eRange drops during calls after fitting the new pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eDECT transmit power draws a sharp current spike each time the handset communicates with the base. If the Ni-MH pack hasn't been conditioned yet, its internal resistance is higher than normal, and voltage sags under that RF load — the handset pulls back transmit power to compensate. Range returns to normal once the pack is conditioned through full cycles. If range stays poor after five cycles, check the battery contacts in the compartment are clean and making firm contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43340110135386,"sku":"BWCS-P104CL-1","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43340110168154,"sku":"BWCS-P104CL-2","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43340110200922,"sku":"BWCS-P104CL-3","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-P104CL-1.webp?v=1778367188","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/radio-shack-23-968-replacement-battery-36v-850mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
