It slots into the handset compartment and restores power to the wireless unit. Voltage and form factor match the original S6052 pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eS60529 handset fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The S60529 runs a 2.4V dual-cell Ni-MH pack with a specific footprint of 28.63 × 29.25 × 14.34mm. That combination of voltage, cell count, and physical size is what the base station charger circuit expects. Swapping to a different voltage or cell count confuses the base charge termination logic.\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 a 2.4V Ni-MH test rig. The BMS accepted charge correctly at the base's trickle rate, and capacity landed within spec after three conditioning cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-charge protocol for Ni-MH cordless packs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing, seat the handset in the base and leave it for a full 16 hours before first use. Ni-MH cells shipped in storage state won't reach rated 600mAh capacity on a short charge — the slow first charge lets the cells balance and recover full electrochemical 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 charge light not activating on a new Ni-MH pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH batteries self-discharge during storage and can arrive below 2.0V total. Many cordless base stations use a minimum voltage threshold — typically around 2.0V — before switching on the charge circuit. If the pack voltage is too low, the base sees no battery and shows no charge indicator. The fix is to briefly connect the handset contacts to any compatible Ni-MH charger at a low rate (around 60mA) for 10–15 minutes to bring the pack above the 2.0V threshold, then return it to the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eTalk time noticeably shorter than the original battery for the first few uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThis is normal Ni-MH behaviour, not a fault. New Ni-MH cells need three to five full charge-discharge cycles before the cell chemistry stabilises at rated capacity. On the first cycle you may see noticeably less talk time than expected. Run the handset until it prompts a low battery warning, then return it to the base for a full charge — repeat this three times and capacity will reach the rated 600mAh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43340097716314,"sku":"BWCS-P305CL-1","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43340097749082,"sku":"BWCS-P305CL-2","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43340097781850,"sku":"BWCS-P305CL-3","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-P305CL-1.webp?v=1778367187","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/southwestern-bell-s60529-replacement-battery-24v-600mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
