Can anyone recommend a cordless home phone that doesn't need rechargeable batteries, either normal aaa batteries or a lithium battery that charges on replacing into the base. Don't even know if this is possible, so any help or recommendations appreciated.

Do you mean you want normal aaa/ lithium or you don't want any battery at all

I've only ever seen phones that go back on the base station, though you can get them in packs of 3 or 4.
For the no battery concept, there's always a phone attached by a wire! no need for plugs OR batteries and they're cheap  |

they are no good,if you have a mobile phone you will have formed a habit of a mobile walk and when the house cordless phone rings the mobile walk will kick in and you will find yourself picking up the cordless phone saying "excuse me while i take this call"and you will walk out of the house sub consciencely ,and then realise you walked out of your house

Even if a phone comes equipped with rechargeable batteries can't you just replace them with ordinary batteries?

These cordless home phones come on a stand which charges the battery when you put the phone on it so replacing the rechargable ones with ordinary ones is not a good idea....Normal batteries would not last long in the phone.You would be replacing them often use rechargable would be my advice

Do you already have one? I replaced the worn out battery pack in mine and was surprised to see the battery packs were something like 3xAAA rechargeable batteries wired in series then shrink wrapped. This might be normal. If you're handy with electrics you could probably create your own packs with normal batteries. Or it might take them anyway.
Quick google reveals companies certainly selling loose ni-mh AAA batteries for replacment in phones like binatone phones so they must exist. So assuming they don't over voltage I'm guessing it's possible. By that I mean a normal AAA is 1.5v, a rechargeable is actually normally a little less. |

And yes you would NOT want to put a phone with normal batteries back on a stand that would try to charge it.

If I'm on my cordless phone trying to get through to say Virgin (average wait 30 minutes) I can feel my head cooking

I don't understand the logic in the OPs thinking, and he doesn't explain the reasoning behind it!
Also he confuses by saying "either normal aaa batteries or a lithium battery that charges on replacing into the base". |

By:
Is he thinking that when the batteries are dead, he has to take then out, and put into a recharging dock?

ll of these phones go into a recharging dock...
I have four here, and there is the master base connected to the phone line, and three others in their own charging docks. |

I got fed up of my cordless phones battery cutting out mid long call and they are in a drawer. Got a nice normal phone that has a voice message as I got fed up with the charges BT put on for their service. Don't need cordless, was more hassle than it was worth.
