Summary: Panasonic- ACJ96NKX-TG2257 needs to be recalled!
Review: I originally initiated a search online looking for a battery because my phone loses the charge after only about 30 minutes and takes at least a day and a half to recharge. I thought that it was just time to replace the battery until I read the other reviews and realized that others were having the same problem that I am having. When I actually stop and think about it, I have been experiencing problems with this phone since I purchased it. When I first purchased the phone, I had a 30 minute conversation and then had to place the phone back on the cradle to recharge and it took about a day and a half! I thought it was because I didn't let it charge completely initially, so I left it on the charger for 3 days without using it and then when I did use it I had the same problem. I think that Panasonic owes everyone who bought this "phone" a refund.

Summary: Buyer Beware!
Review: After having great experiences with Panasonic phones, I asked for this specific model for my birthday. Upon making the first calls, I was immediately disappointed. One out of two people asked if I was using a cordless phone; not a good sign. As far as battery life, I agree with the other reviewers that the battery life was poor. I could live with that until one morning while trying to make a call with the handset fully charged, the phone just completely died. I emailed Panasonic who told me that I should send the handset in along with the receipt and they would either fix it or replace it with a "reconditioned model." As if...who has a reciept for a gift from six months ago? The same thing happened to my sister with the same phone. Like many of the other reviewers, it turned out to be the battery. It completely died within 6 months. Please take my experience as a warning. Do not buy this phone.

Summary: 6 month battery life 1 hour duration
Review: Don't try to call Panasonic to complain
The battery won't last as long as the time you are on hold
My average cutstomer service call can take 1 1/2 hour and my phone dies midway

Summary: Truly dreadful battery
Review: I agree with all the comments at this site. I was actually visiting this site looking for a battery for my phone, and saw all these reviews. I purchased this phone about a year ago, and now, I have to make sure that the cordless is on the charger all the time. Even that's not sufficient if my call lasts more than 30 minutes. And as another reviewer said, it would even discharge by morning if I forget to place it on the charger the night before...
I am gonna give it one more try with some other company's battery compatible with this phone. Hopefully it will work if the problem is with the battery and not with the phone.

Summary: RECALL or replace batteries with more powerful ones
Review: I agree with all the reviewers here. Battery life is POOREST. Is anyone even doing testing of these products at Panasonic?
1) I think Panasonic should recall this unit TG2257 and not only replace the phones but REFUND our money because this to me is cheating. Nowhere in the product description it mentioned that the battery life is worst, a fully charged handset gets discharged overnight even without using the phone. Yes, there are features on the phone that I really liked but what good are they if the handset dies in the middle of your conversation. I thought it must be my piece that is off but after reading reviews here it is confirmed that it is one of the poor quality of Panasonics' products. 2) The battery NiCd P-P511 seems like "WEAK" 3.6V 850mAh (not good at all for a handset), the physical size seems like putting 3 AA batteries together (unfortunately can't use those). If the problem with this phone is just battery (which I think it is) then they should come up with more powerful NiMH batteries and send it to all the customers who owns this piece (at no additional cost to customers). I think this might solve the problem.
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT

Summary: Battery does not last AT ALL!!!!!
Review: It seems that everyone agrees that the battery on this phone dies after a 30 minute conversation. This happened to me even when the phone was new, and charged for two days!!!!! I kept thinking it would get better, but it never did. I feel that all of us who bought this phone was SCAMMED by Panasonic!!!There should be a recall!

Summary: Battery Sucks! Panasonic quality is questionable!
Review: The battery doesn't last for more than 30 minutes. It discharges on its own if it is out of its base unit. I initially thought, it could be some loose contact and thus kept the phone rather than returning it. But, I was fooled. I am rather stupid to keep buying panasonic products even after seeing a similar problem with one of my Panasonic DVD players. The DVD player died exactly after one year. It seems, the model had this problem! Wow! Panasonic is able to manufacture their products such that they only last their warranty period! amazing way to loose customers.Atleast, I would expect Panasonic to replace/refurbish such models having such inherent problems! but they don't seem to do it! Shouldn't this fall into some kind of recall? So, the question is, should we continue to buy Panasonic products? and waste our money in this way? How can you believe them even if they are not willing to refurbish such defetive models unconditionally (i.e., without asking for receipts, etc.,). ----

Summary: Battery is really a problem with this phone.
Review: Though I think the phone looks and sounds great, and I am pleased with the range, the battery truly dies within a year. It will happen all at once, too, with the first 6 months being great, and slight issues with long calls in the next 3 months, and finally total collapse at the one year mark. Now I am down to charging it all the time, and I only get a 30 minute conversation in (once per day) before the phone dies. This is not a fluke, unfortunately, as I also bought the same Panasonic Phone for my brother, and his died before the one year mark, too. Really a pain, as I've had other cordless phones for years without problems. Do I really have to purchase a $40 battery every YEAR? The answer, of course, is NO. I just need to buy a new phone with a better battery!
